Oklahoma § 22-988.9 - Fees and costs

§ 22-988.9. Fees and costs

A. Any offender sentenced to a community sentence pursuant to

the Oklahoma Community Sentencing Act which requires supervision

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 22. Criminal Procedure

shall be required to pay a supervision fee. The supervising agency

shall establish the fee amount, not to exceed Forty Dollars ($40.00)

per month, based upon the offender's ability to pay. In hardship

cases the supervising agency may expressly waive all or part of the

fee. No supervising agency participating in a local community

sentencing system shall deny any offender supervision services for

the sole reason that the offender is indigent. Fees collected for

supervision services performed by the Department of Corrections

shall be paid directly to the Department to be deposited in the

Department of Corrections Revolving Fund. Supervision services

performed by contracted providers other than the Department shall be

paid directly to that contracted provider.

B. In addition to any supervision fee, eligible offenders

participating in a local community sentencing system under a courtordered community punishment shall be required to pay an

administrative fee to support the local system which shall not

exceed Twenty Dollars ($20.00) per month to be set by the court.

Administrative fees when collected shall be deposited with the

Community Sentencing Division within the Department of Corrections

and credited to the local community sentencing system for support

and expansion of the local community corrections system. In the

event the court fails to order the amount of the administrative fee,

the fee shall be Twenty Dollars ($20.00) per month.

C. In addition to any supervision fee and administrative fee

authorized by this section, the court shall assess court costs, and

may assess program reimbursement costs, restitution, and fines to be

paid by the offender. With the exception of supervision fees, other

fees, costs, fines, restitution, or monetary obligations ordered to

be paid by the offender shall not cease with the termination of

active supervision and such obligations shall continue until fully

paid and may be collected in the same manner as court costs.
