SUMMARY
The Senate Judiciary Committee has amended SB
163 as follows:
1.
On Page 3, Line 19, after “to” strike the
remainder of the line and insert in lieu thereof “one of the following programs
that is within the territorial jurisdiction of the court, that directly relates
to the crime for which the defendant was placed on probation and that is
operated by or under the control of the state or a political subdivision of the
state:”
2.
On Page 3, strike Lines 20 through 22, and
strike line 23 through the semicolon, and insert thereafter:
(1)
a local crime stopper program,
(2)
a local drug abuse resistance education program;
(3)
a local domestic violence shelter;
(4)
a local substance abuse treatment program; or
(5)
a local sex offender treatment program.
The Senate Rules Committee’s amendment does two
things. First, it ties the type of
program to which the defendant on probation is required to make payments to the
type of crime the defendant committed.
Second, the amendment adds more options for programs to which payment
may be required.
Synopsis of Original Bill
SB 163 expands the
number of programs currently eligible to receive reimbursement payments from
probationers. The added programs
include:
Under current law, a
defendant, upon conviction, is required to pay: (1) the amount of any reward
paid by an agency or program for information leading to his arrest, prosecution
or conviction, and (2) the actual costs of his supervised probation
service. A defendant may also be required
to:
SB 163 adds a
non-profit domestic violence shelter, an alcohol or substance abuse treatment
program and a sex offender treatment program to the options a defendant may be
required to contribute not less than $10.00 and not more than $100.00.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
SB 163 does not contain an appropriation. Any
additional administrative functions can be absorbed by the existing staffing
and budget levels.
