HB5585 Summary

• Requires respondents in domestic violence orders of protection to wear GPS-enabled electronic monitoring devices during the period the order is in effect.

• Non-indigent respondents must pay the cost of installing and maintaining the GPS device, plus an additional court-determined fee; indigent respondents have costs covered by the state.

• Creates two special funds in the State treasury: the Indigent GPS Electronic Monitoring Device Fund (to reimburse providers for indigent monitoring) and the GPS Monitoring Device Administration Fee Fund (to cover the Secretary of Human Services' administrative costs).

• The Secretary of Human Services makes quarterly payments to device providers from the Indigent GPS Electronic Monitoring Device Fund on a pro-rata basis if insufficient funds exist to cover all requests.
