SECTION ____. Section 19, Article 42.12, Code of Criminal
Procedure, is amended by amending Subsections (a) and (b) and
adding Subsection (g) to read as follows:
(a) Except as otherwise provided by this subsection, a judge
granting community supervision shall fix a fee of not less than $25
and not more than $60 per month to be paid during the period of
community supervision by the defendant to the court of original
jurisdiction or, in the case of an intrastate transfer described by
Section 10(b) of this article, to the court to which jurisdiction of
the defendant's case is transferred [by the defendant during the
community supervision period]. The judge may make payment of the
fee a condition of granting or continuing the community
supervision. The judge may waive or reduce the fee or suspend a
monthly payment of the fee if the judge determines that payment of
the fee would cause the defendant a significant financial hardship.
(b) A [The] judge shall deposit any fee [the fees] received
under Subsection (a) of this section in the special fund of the
county treasury, to be used for the same purposes for which state
aid may be used under Chapter 76, Government Code.
(g) A court to which jurisdiction of a defendant's case is
transferred under Section 10(b) of this article shall enter an
order directing the defendant to pay the monthly fee described by
Subsection (a) of this section to that court in lieu of paying the
monthly fee to the court of original jurisdiction. To the extent of
any conflict between an order issued under this subsection and an
order issued by a court of original jurisdiction, the order entered
under this subsection prevails.
