Bill > HB5444

This bill, by amending West Virginia Code §62-12-17, proposes to increase the maximum monthly fee that parolees must pay for their supervision from $40 to $50, based on their ability to pay, to help cover the costs associated with this supervision. The bill also makes technical corrections and clarifies that the Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation is responsible for supervising parolees, including those from other states or the federal government, and outlines factors the division must consider when determining a parolee's ability to pay the fee, such as income, assets, debts, and necessary work-related expenses. Additionally, the bill allows for other conditions to be imposed by the Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation, including substance abuse treatment or reporting to a day report center, if a standardized assessment indicates a risk of reoffending and a need for such interventions.
