Supervision fees of $40.00 per month are assessed on each offender to assist in defraying the cost of their supervision. Other fees are also assessed for specialized services, e.g. $15 per urinalysis testing; $150.00 for non-resident Interstate compact transfer investigation plus $50.00 compact application fee, a one-time $25.00 fee for Community Service, etc.
