HB 700 - This act authorizes the Board of Probation and Parole to charge offenders placed under the supervision of the board a fee of up to $60 a month. All fees will be deposited into the Inmate Fund within the state treasury and may be used for community corrections and intervention services for offenders. The board will adopt rules sanctioning offenders for nonpayment and establishing, waiving, collecting, and using the fees. The act also makes it a Class C felony for any person held in a correctional setting within this state who is knowingly infected with HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C to intentionally cause another person to come into contact with any of their bodily fluids. Certain provisions of this act are similar to SCS/SB 93 (2005). SUSAN HENDERSON
