Adds to and amends existing law to provide for certain pretrial release supervision services and pretrial release supervision fees.
Idaho law allows the court to release a person from jail while awaiting trial. As a part of court ordered pretrial release, the court can impose conditions of release on a person awaiting trial. Such conditions can include electronic monitoring, alcohol testing, or drug testing. Many counties have established pretrial release supervision programs to monitor individuals on pretrial release. This legislation codifies existing pretrial release supervision programs, establishes parameters for the establishment of pretrial supervision fees, and establishes that pretrial release supervision fees are to be collected by the clerk of the court.
