The bill establishes that the Sheriff of Mobile County will be responsible for administering and supervising all electronic monitoring of pretrial defendants within the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit of Alabama. It explicitly prohibits the Sheriff from contracting with any external entity for electronic monitoring services. Additionally, the Sheriff is granted the authority to set administrative and supervision fees to fund electronic monitoring programs, which may include pretrial release, alternative sentencing, and other court-related services. The fees collected from individuals placed in these programs will be deposited into the county general fund.

The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2025. The new legal language includes provisions for the Sheriff’s exclusive authority over electronic monitoring and fee establishment, while no deletions from current law are specified in the text provided.
