Bill > S529

This bill eliminates monthly probation supervision fees of $40 and removes provisions requiring individuals on probation to pay these fees, while also prohibiting probation terms from being extended solely due to non-payment of supervision fees. Specifically, the bill amends North Carolina General Statutes to remove references to supervision fees in various sections related to probation conditions, including community service, intermediate punishments, and special probation rules. The legislation maintains the existing requirements for community service and other probation conditions but eliminates the financial burden of monthly supervision fees. The bill aims to reduce financial obstacles for individuals on probation, potentially making it easier for them to successfully complete their probation terms without being penalized for inability to pay monthly fees. The changes will apply to new probation orders issued on or after the date the bill becomes law, providing immediate relief for future probationers in North Carolina.
