SB 387 - This act allows a court to place an offender on electronic monitoring as an alternative to confinement. Any period of electronic monitoring shall be credited against any ordered sentence of confinement. The cost of electronic monitoring may be billed to the state at up to $8 per day or the judge may charge the costs as a condition of the offender’s sentence unless the judge finds the person cannot pay. The circuit court may adopt a local rule allowing for the pretrial release on electronic monitoring in lieu of confinement for anyone charged with a crime. This act is similar to provisions of the perfected version of SS/SCS/SB 1014 (2010). MEGHAN LUECKE
