Senate Bill 880 amends the Government Code to expand the programs that a community supervision and corrections department is authorized to operate to include programs for the supervision of a person released on bail, a person subject to certain court orders or whose compliance with those orders must be verified, and a person ordered by a court to submit to the supervision of, or to receive services from, the department. The bill authorizes a department program to include any reasonable conditions related to the purpose of the program, rather than only authorizing a program to include testing for controlled substances. The bill increases from $40 to $60 the monthly maximum administrative fee a department is authorized to assess on an individual who participates in a department program.
