month, unless exempted by the court. The court may exempt a person from paying
the fee only for good cause and upon written motion of the person placed on
supervised probation. No person shall be required to pay more than one
supervision fee per month. The court may require that the fee be paid in
advance or in a lump sum or sums, and a probation officer may require payment
by such methods if he is authorized by subsection (g) to determine the payment

supervision fee of fifteen dollars ($15.00) twenty dollars ($20.00) per
month. The Commission may exempt a parolee from this condition of parole only
if it finds that requiring him to pay the fee will constitute an undue economic
burden. The fee must be paid to the clerk of superior court designated by
the Commission. of the county in which the parolee was convicted. The
clerk must transmit any money collected pursuant to this subsection to the
State to be deposited in the General Fund of the State. In no event shall a

month."
Sec. 3. This act shall become effective October 1, 1990, and shall apply to all persons on supervised probation or parole prior to that date and to all persons placed on supervised probation or parole on or after that date.
