TO AMEND SECTION 24-21-80, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE FEE REQUIRED OF PROBATIONERS AND PAROLEES, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE COURT MAY WAIVE THE FEE FOR PROBATIONERS.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The second paragraph of Section 24-21-80 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Section 26, Part II, Act 164 of 1993, is further amended to read:
"If a probationer is placed under intensive supervision by a court of competent jurisdiction, or if the board places a parolee under intensive supervision, or if an inmate who is participating in the Supervised Furlough Program is placed under intensive supervision, the probationer, parolee, or inmate is required to pay not less than ten dollars nor more than thirty dollars each week for the duration of intensive supervision in lieu of the regular supervision fee. The intensive supervision fee must be determined by the department based upon the ability of the person to pay. Fees derived from persons under intensive supervision must be retained by the department, carried forward, and applied to the department's operation. The department or court may exempt any an individual supervised by the department on any community supervision program from the payment of a part or all of the yearly or weekly fee during any part or all of the supervision period if the department or court determines that these payments work a severe hardship on the individual. Delinquencies of two months or more in payment of a reduced fee operates in the same manner as delinquencies for the full amount. The department may substitute public service employment for supervision fees when it considers the same to be in the best interest of the State and the individual."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
