(a) In Baldwin County, a supervision fee of twenty dollars ($20) per month shall be levied against any person placed under supervised probation status of the Juvenile Court of Baldwin County, and shall be assessed, collected, waived, or determined as provided for in subsection (b). The supervision fee assessed pursuant to this section shall be in addition to any other costs and charges, including, but not limited to, court costs, fines, and restitution payments imposed on any person placed on supervised probation status of the Juvenile Court of Baldwin County.
(b) The supervision fee imposed by this section shall be assessed against the probationer, his or her parent or guardian, or both individuals by the Juvenile Court of the Twenty-eighth Judicial Circuit of Alabama or its successor. The fee shall be paid through the Office of the Circuit Clerk of Baldwin County for each month that the person is subject to supervised probation status pursuant to the order of the Juvenile Judge of Baldwin County. Notwithstanding the foregoing and only in cases of extreme financial hardship, as determined by the judge of the juvenile court, the fee may be waived or set at a lower amount than the fee provided in subsection (a).
(c) In cases where the fees provided by this section are not paid, the Office of Juvenile Probation, along with the Office of the District Attorney of the Twenty-eighth Judicial Circuit, shall bring the delinquency in payment to the attention of the juvenile judge and assist in the collection of the same in the manner as other court-ordered monies.
(d) The revenues derived from this section shall be credited on a monthly basis to a separate fund established and administered by the Baldwin County Commission, to be known as the Juvenile Supervision Services Fund, to be expended as necessary by the juvenile court to provide juvenile supervision services, such as those provided by the Office of Juvenile Probation and the Juvenile Conference Committee portion of the Judicial Volunteer Program in Baldwin County, to offset travel expenses, administrative expenses, and if necessary, to assist in paying salaries for juvenile probation officers and the juvenile volunteer coordinator.
