OH HB457

Authorizes sheriffs to charge offenders and delinquent children a daily fee for electronic monitoring performed under court orders or requirements from the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction or Department of Youth Services.

Defines electronic monitoring as monitoring under Ohio Revised Code section 2929.01 or using global positioning devices/systems.

Requires fees to cover monitoring-related costs including equipment, supplies, and personnel, with daily charges not exceeding the sheriff's average daily cost from the preceding calendar year.

Establishes a "sheriff's electronic monitoring expense fund" in each county where collected fees must be deposited and can be used only for monitoring-related expenses with board of county commissioners approval.

Prohibits fee charges when a court requires the offender or delinquent child to pay monitoring costs under another provision of law, or when costs are otherwise paid pursuant to law.
