2018 House Bill 6149

Lower probation charges

Introduced in the House

June 12, 2018

Introduced by Rep. Tommy Brann (R-77)

To reduce the maximum “supervision fee” charged to probationers from $135 per month to $30 per month, and $60 if an electronic monitoring device is involved. This would also replace a schedule of means-tested discounts for low income convicts. A judge could still waive the fees for a person who is indigent.

Referred to the Committee on Law and Justice
