Full text of North Carolina North Carolina General Statutes § 14-208 — 45. Fees., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.

§ 14-208. 45. Fees.

Except as provided in subsections (b) and (b1) of this section, each person required to enroll pursuant to this Part shall pay a one-time fee of ninety dollars ($90.00). The fee shall be payable to the clerk of superior court, and the fees shall be remitted quarterly to the Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice of the Department of Public Safety. This fee is intended to offset only the costs associated with the time-correlated tracking of the geographic location of subjects using the location tracking crime correlation system. When a court determines a person is required to enroll pursuant to G.S. 14-208.40A or G.S. 14-208.40B, the court may exempt a person from paying the fee required by subsection (a) of this section only for good cause and upon motion of the person required to enroll in satellite-based monitoring. The court may require that the fee be paid in advance or in a lump sum or sums, and a probation officer may require payment by those methods. When a person is required to enroll based on a determination by the Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice pursuant to G.S. 14-208.40B, the Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice shall have the authority to exempt the person from paying the fee only for good cause and upon request of the person required to enroll in satellite-based monitoring. The Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice may require that the fee be paid in advance or in a lump sum or sums, and a probation officer may require payment by those methods. History (2006-247, s. 15(a); 2007-213, s. 12; 2007-484, ss. 42(a), (b); 2011-145, s. 19.1(h); 2017-186, s. 2(bb).) Editor's Note. - Session Laws 2006-247, s. 15(a), enacted this section as G.S. 14-208.38. It was recodified as this section at the direction of the Revisor of Statutes. Session Laws 2006-247, s. 15(l), provides: "Unless otherwise provided in the section, this section is effective when it becomes law [August 16, 2006] and applies to offenses committed on or after that date. This section also applies to any person sentenced to intermediate punishment on or after that date and to any person released from prison by parole or post-release supervision on or after that date. This section also applies to any person who completes his or her sentence on or after the effective date of this section who is not on post-release supervision or parole. However, the requirement to enroll in a satellite-based program is not mandatory until January 1, 2007, when the program is established." Session Laws 2007-213, s. 12, and Session Laws 2007-484, s. 42(a) both amended G.S. 14-208.45 . However, the amendment by Session Laws 2007-484, s. 42(a) did not account for all of the changes made by Session Laws 2007-213, s. 12, and the section has been set out in the form above at the direction of the Revisor of Statutes. Effect of Amendments. - Session Laws 2007-213, s. 12, as amended by Session Laws 2007-484, s. 42(a) and (b), effective December 1, 2007, rewrote the section. Session Laws 2011-145, s. 19.1(h), effective January 1, 2012, substituted "Division of Adult Correction of the Department of Public Safety" for "Department of Correction" and "Division of Adult Correction" for "Department." Session Laws 2017-186, s. 2(bb), effective December 1, 2017, inserted "and Juvenile Justice" in subsections (a) and (c).
