Bill Summary
This bill proposes to eliminate supervisory fees imposed by the Department of Corrections.
AI Summary
This bill eliminates supervisory fees, which were monthly charges of up to $30 imposed by the Department of Corrections on individuals under supervision such as probation, furlough, or parole. The bill repeals the existing law that allowed for the collection of these fees and explicitly states that the Department of Corrections will no longer assess, bill, or collect them, nor will it use collection agencies for this purpose. Furthermore, all outstanding supervisory fees will be forgiven, and any records or online portals related to these fees will be cleared. The bill also prohibits the failure to pay these fees from being considered a violation of an individual's sentence or supervision status, and requires the Department to review and remove any rules or policies referencing these fees.
