Summary

The bill amends the state code to require parolees—and any out‑of‑state or federal parolees supervised by West Virginia—to pay a monthly supervision fee that cannot exceed $50. The fee is set based on the parolee’s income, assets, debts, and necessary expenses, and the money is placed in a dedicated state fund. The change is intended to help cover the costs of parole supervision while ensuring fees are affordable.
