Section 22.10.050. Probation fee.

	(a)  Except as provided in (d) and (e) of this section, a person placed on probation by a court who has, as a condition of probation, the payment of a periodic probation fee, shall pay to the department a monthly fee as directed by the probation officer.  
	(b)  The probation fee amount is $45 a month for each calendar month that the person is under probation supervision. The commissioner will establish the payment form and collection procedures to be used by community corrections for the collection and disbursement of the fee required under this section.  
	(c)  A probationer may make the probation fee payment, or a portion of the payment, by assignment of his or her permanent fund dividend received under AS 43.23.005. A probationer selecting this form of payment must be provided a form and assisted in the procedure to accomplish the action through the Department of Revenue. The regional administrator of probation may attach the permanent fund dividend of a prisoner who is in arrears on the probation fee.  
	(d)  The regional administrator of probation may temporarily defer, excuse, or authorize an alternate form of probation fee payment in a form and by procedures established by the commissioner if justified by a probationer's verified inability to pay.  
	(e)  Only supervised probation requires the payment of a probation fee. A person granted probation by a court which is not supervised by the department is not required to make probation fee payments.
