Fees for cost of supervision: Imposition; waiver or reduction.
1. The board shall adopt a schedule of fees to be imposed on probationers to defray the cost of the supervision of a probationer. The schedule adopted must provide for a monthly fee of not less than $20 for the supervision of a probationer.
2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3:
(a) The department shall charge each probationer the fee set forth in the schedule adopted pursuant to subsection 1.
(b) Payment of the required fee by the probationer is a condition of his suspended sentence or residential confinement.
3. If the chief determines that payment of the fee would result in economic hardship to a probationer, the chief may waive the imposition of, or reduce the amount of, the fee. If the chief waives the imposition of the fee, payment of the fee by the probationer does not constitute a condition of his suspended sentence or residential confinement.
