House Bill No. by Representative Horton amends existing laws regarding conditions for probation and parole, specifically addressing extradition. The bill modifies R.S. 15:574.4.2(A)(2)(k) to require parolees to waive extradition to Louisiana from any jurisdiction and agree not to contest their return. Additionally, if a parolee is extradited from outside Louisiana, they must pay the Department of Public Safety and Corrections for the full cost of extradition, based on their ability to pay as determined by the parole committee.

Furthermore, the bill amends Code of Criminal Procedure Articles 895 and 895.1 to include similar extradition conditions for probation. It allows courts to impose a requirement for defendants on probation to waive extradition and not contest their return to Louisiana. The bill also establishes that courts can order defendants to pay for extradition costs to the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, with the option to create a payment plan based on the defendant's financial situation.
