County of Rockland to impose a probation administrative fee on those
individuals currently serving or who shall be sentenced to a period
of probation upon conviction of any crime under Article 31 of the
Vehicle and Traffic Law in relation to alcohol- and drug-related motor
vehicle matters.
A.
Pursuant to § 257-c of the New York State
Executive Law, the Commissioner of Probation shall have the power
to establish and charge an administrative fee in certain cases of
persons sentenced to probation.

This fee shall be established in every case where
the court orders an individual sentenced to probation for the conviction
of any crime under Article 31 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic
Law.
C.
Upon the adoption of this article, every such person
sentenced to probation for the conviction of an alcohol- and/or drug-related
offense, as such is defined under Article 31 of the New York State
Vehicle and Traffic Law, shall pay an administrative fee of $30 per
month payable to the Department of Finance of the County of Rockland.
D.
Said fees shall be paid to the Commissioner of Probation
who shall remit said fees into the general fund of the County of Rockland
to be utilized in accordance with Subdivision 5 of § 257-c
of the New York State Executive Law.
A.
The Commissioner of Probation shall have the power
to waive all or part of such fee where, because of the indigence of
the offender, the payment of said fee would work an unreasonable hardship
on the person convicted, his or her immediate family or any other
person who is dependent on such person for financial support.
The provisions of Subdivision 6 of § 420.10
of the Criminal Procedure Law shall govern for purposes of collection
of the administrative fee.
