STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS26726
Idaho law allows the court to release a person from jail while awaiting trial. As a part of court ordered
pretrial release, the court can impose conditions of release on a person awaiting trial. Such conditions
can include electronic monitoring, alcohol testing, or drug testing. Many counties have established pretrial
release supervision programs to monitor individuals on pretrial release. This legislation codifies existing
pretrial release supervision programs, establishes parameters for the establishment of pretrial supervision
fees, and establishes that pretrial release supervision fees are to be collected by the clerk of the court.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact on the State general fund as pretrial supervision programs are handled at the county
level. There is no fiscal impact to county governments because pretrial supervision programs are already in
place. If the bill fails to become law, counties would incur additional costs as they would have to develop
tracking and collection systems for individuals on pretrial release.
