20-516A. JUVENILE PRETRIAL SUPERVISION -- FEES. (1) The board of county
commissioners may establish a juvenile supervised pretrial release program
to perform those functions as prescribed by the administrative district
judge in each judicial district. The board of county commissioners may pro-
vide for juvenile supervised pretrial release services through employment
of staff, contract, or any other process that will accomplish the purposes
of this section. A board of county commissioners shall not be obligated to
establish a juvenile supervised pretrial release program. Counties having
established a juvenile supervised pretrial release program shall not be
obligated to provide juvenile supervised pretrial release services beyond
the funds generated by the fees collected and any additional funds that may
be annually appropriated by the board of county commissioners.
(2) The court may assess a monthly juvenile pretrial supervision fee
that shall be an amount no more than the maximum monthly juvenile probation
supervision fee set forth in section 20-520, Idaho Code, per month, or such
lesser sum as determined by the administrative judge of the judicial dis-
trict, against the juvenile offender placed on pretrial supervision. The
juvenile pretrial supervision fee shall be paid to the clerk of the district
court who shall deposit such fee into the county juvenile probation fund,
which is hereby created, in each county or, at the option of the board of
county commissioners, deposited in the county justice fund to be used for
county juvenile probation services. Moneys from this fee may be accumulated
from year to year and shall be expended exclusively for county juvenile pre-
trial supervision services and related purposes.
(3) A juvenile shall not be required to pay the juvenile pretrial super-
vision fee authorized in subsection (2) of this section until after the entry
of an order finding the juvenile offender is within the purview of this sec-
tion.
(4) The court may also order the juvenile to pay additional fees to
cover the actual costs of electronic monitoring, alcohol testing, or drug
testing if such monitoring or testing is a condition of the juvenile's re-
lease. Such additional fees may be paid to the clerk of the court or directly
to the provider of the service. If fees are paid to the clerk of the court,
the clerk of the court shall pay such fees to the county treasurer and such
fees shall be used exclusively to cover the costs for which the additional
fees have been ordered.
(5) Any unpaid juvenile pretrial supervision fee shall be considered a
debt owed to the court and may be collected in the manner provided by law for
the collection of such debts.
