• Reduces supervision fees for probation and parole from a variable scale (up to $135/month) to fixed rates of $30/month without electronic monitoring and $60/month with electronic monitoring.

• Eliminates the income-based fee calculation table that previously determined fees based on projected monthly income ranging from $0-$1,000+.

• Requires the state court administrative office and department of corrections to adjust fee amounts annually beginning October 1, 2019 to maintain revenue levels equivalent to the fiscal year before the amendment's effective date.

• Establishes that supervision fees for individuals transferred to other states under interstate compacts are waived, and allows waiver of fees for indigent offenders.

• Modifies lifetime electronic monitoring program fees to charge $30/month after discharge from parole for individuals still subject to electronic monitoring, and requires annual fee adjustments to maintain baseline revenue collection.

• Takes effect 90 days after enactment and is contingent on passage of HB 6148.
