Section 3010.8 Of Article 2. Electronic Monitoring From California Penal Code >> Title 1. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 8. >> Article 2.
3010.8
. (a) The department may charge persons on parole for the
costs of any form of supervision that utilizes continuous electronic
monitoring devices that monitor the whereabouts of the person
pursuant to this article. Inability to pay all or a portion of the
costs of continuous electronic monitoring authorized by this article
shall not preclude use of continuous electronic monitoring and
eligibility for parole shall not be enhanced by reason of ability to
pay.
(b) Any person released on parole pursuant to subdivision (a) may
be required to pay for that monitoring upon a finding of the ability
to pay those costs. However, the department shall waive any or all of
that payment upon a finding of an inability to pay. The department
shall consider any remaining amounts the 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.
