SB 5508 - DIGEST

Provides that, when an offender convicted of a sex or kidnapping offense committed on or after July 1, 2003, is classified as a level III offender, the department may not approve release to a residence, or any later residence, that is within one mile of any licensed day care facility, preschool, or any public or private primary or secondary school during any period that the offender is under supervision in the community.

Directs the department to require, as a condition of supervision, that all sex and kidnapping offenders under its authority convicted of a sex or kidnapping offense committed on or after July 1, 2003, and classified as level III offenders to wear an electronic home monitoring device at all times during their period of supervision in the community.

Provides that the offender shall pay the cost of electronic home monitoring as part of his or her cost of supervision. The department may add the cost to the current cost of supervision fees. If the offender is indigent, or the payment of the cost of electronic home monitoring would make the offender unable to pay restitution, child support, or other legal financial obligations, the department may waive or reduce the payment of the cost of electronic home monitoring.
