§ 9-201 Probation administrative fee.

AC § 9-201

a. In accordance with section 257-c of the executive law, any individual 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 shall pay to the department of probation an administrative fee of thirty dollars per month. b. The provisions of subdivision six of section 420.10 of the criminal procedure law shall govern for purposes of collection of the administrative fee. c. The administrative fee authorized by this subdivision shall not constitute, nor be imposed, as a condition of probation. d. The department of probation shall waive all or part of the administrative fee where, because of the indigence of the offender, the payment of the administrative fee 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. e. In the event of non-payment of any fees that have not been waived by the department of probation, the city of New York may seek to enforce payment in any manner permitted by law for enforcement of a debt. f. Monies collected pursuant to this section shall be utilized for probation services by the department of probation.
