This bill proposes to amend current statutes regarding probation for individuals convicted of dangerous crimes against children. Under the existing law, the court may impose a fee on the probationer for the cost of GPS or electronic monitoring devices. The bill would change this language to require that the court shall impose such a fee, thereby making it mandatory rather than optional. Additionally, the bill specifies that the fee collected from probationers will be deposited into the adult probation services fund as outlined in section 12-267, subsection A, paragraph 3. The current provisions regarding the requirement for GPS or electronic monitoring for level three offenders remain unchanged, ensuring that the monitoring continues for the duration of the probation term. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the financial responsibility of probationers for the costs associated with their monitoring.
