Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024

(a) Any person released on parole who is required to participate in continuous electronic monitoring, may be required to pay for that electronic surveillance upon a finding by the department of the ability of the supervised person to pay those costs. However, the department shall waive any or all of that payment upon a finding of an inability to pay.

(1) Ability to pay means the overall capability of the person to reimburse the actual costs or portion of the costs, of providing continuous electronic monitoring.

(2) Overall capability of the person to reimburse the actual costs shall be determined by the Unit Supervisor or designee on a case-by-case basis. Factors to consider are employment status, income level, supplemental income sources and total monthly household expenses.

(3) The department shall consider any remaining amounts a person has been ordered to pay in fines, assessments and restitution fines, fees and orders, and shall give priority to the payment of those items before requiring that the person pay for the continuous electronic monitoring.

(b) If the supervised person disagrees with the department's finding that the supervised person has the ability to pay for the costs associated with the continuous electronic monitoring, the supervised person may file a grievance by submitting CDCR Form 602-1 (01/22), to the Regional Office of Grievances.
