AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to the probation adminis-
tration fee
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 257-c of the executive law, as
added by chapter 55 of the laws of 1992, is amended to read as follows:
1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, every county and the
city of New York, may adopt a local law requiring individuals currently
serving or who shall be sentenced to a period of probation upon
conviction of any crime [under article thirty-one of the vehicle and
traffic law] to pay to the local probation department with the responsi-
bility of supervising the probationer an administrative fee of thirty
dollars per month. The department shall waive all or part of such fee
where, because of the indigence of the offender, the payment of said
surcharge would work an unreasonable hardship on the person convicted,
his or her immediate family, or any other person who is dependent on
such person for financial support.
S 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after
it shall have become a law; provided, however, that the amendments to
subdivision 1 of section 257-c of the executive law made by section one
of this act shall not affect the expiration of such section and shall be
deemed to expire therewith. Effective immediately, the addition, amend-
ment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the implemen-
tation of this act on its effective date is authorized to be made on or
before such date.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
