Probation.

Existing law establishes a procedure to by which a probation officer determines the ability of the defendant to pay all or a portion of the reasonable costs of any probation supervision or conditional sentence, as specified. Existing law also provides that if practicable, the court shall order or the probation officer shall set payments for those costs to be made on a monthly basis. Existing law further provides that execution may be issued on the payment order in the same manner as a judgment in a civil action, ad that the order to pay all or part of the costs shall not be enforced by contempt. This bill would require that the court order the payment of the described probation costs as a condition of probation, if probation is granted.
