* § 257-c. Probation administrative fee. 1. Notwithstanding any other\nprovision of law, every county and the city of New York, may adopt a\nlocal law requiring individuals currently serving or who shall be\nsentenced to a period of probation upon conviction of any crime under\narticle thirty-one of the vehicle and traffic law to pay to the local\nprobation department with the responsibility of supervising the\nprobationer an administrative fee of thirty dollars per month. The\ndepartment shall waive all or part of such fee where, because of the\nindigence of the offender, the payment of said surcharge would work an\nunreasonable hardship on the person convicted, his or her immediate\nfamily, or any other person who is dependent on such person for\nfinancial support.\n 2. The provisions of subdivision six of section 420.10 of the criminal\nprocedure law shall govern for purposes of collection of the\nadministrative fee.\n 3.

Monies collected pursuant to this section shall be utilized for\nprobation services by the local probation department.
