BILL NUMBER:S6561
Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to authorizing the adoption of a local law requiring certain individuals currently serving or who shall be sentenced to a period of probation upon conviction of any crime to pay the local probation department with the responsibility of supervising the probationer an administrative fee of up to twenty dollars per month
Purpose
This bill will provide county probation departments with assistance in providing costly probationary services.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 of the bill amends section 257-c of the executive law as it relates to authorizing counties to imposed an administrative fee of up to twenty dollars per month for persons serving probation for any crime.
Section 2 relates to the effective date.
Justification
Currently, probation departments may out into collecting an administra- tive fee of thirty dollars per month for the supervision of persons convicted of drinking while driving crimes. The admin- istrative fee recoups costs associated with the supervision of probationers. Probation is a costly service that is provided by the county and is mandated by state law. This bill would authorize county government to set an admin- istrative fee of up to twenty dollars for all other crimes that a person is on probation for. This will relieve the financial burden of providing supervision to Probationers.
Legislative history

Fiscal implications
None, but there will be cost savings to the local county probation departments.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately; provided that the amendments to section 257-c of the executive law made by section one of this act shall not affect the expiration of such section and shall expire therewith.
