Parolee assessments.

(1) Any person placed on parole shall be required to pay the monthly assessment, prescribed under subsection (2) of this section, which shall be for the duration of the parole and which shall be considered as payment or part payment of the cost of providing parole supervision to the parolee. The department may exempt a person from the payment of all or any part of the assessment based upon any of the following factors:

     (a) The offender has diligently attempted but has been unable to obtain employment which provides the offender sufficient income to make such payments.

     (b) The offender is a student in a school, college, university, or a course of vocational or technical training designed to fit the student for gainful employment.

     (c) The offender has an employment handicap, as determined by an examination acceptable to or ordered by the department.

     (d) The offender's age prevents him from obtaining employment.

     (e) The offender is responsible for the support of dependents and the payment of the assessment constitutes an undue hardship on the offender.

     (f) Other extenuating circumstances as determined by the department.

     (2) The department of corrections shall adopt a rule prescribing the amount of the assessment. The department may, if it finds it appropriate, prescribe a schedule of assessments which shall vary in accordance with the intensity or cost of the supervision. The department may not prescribe any assessment which is less than ten dollars nor more than fifty dollars.

     (3) Payment of the assessed amount shall constitute a condition of parole for purposes of the application of RCW 72.04A.090.

     (4) All amounts required to be paid under this section shall be collected by the department of corrections and deposited by the department in the dedicated fund established pursuant to RCW 72.11.040.

     (5) This section shall not apply to parole services provided under an interstate compact pursuant to chapter 9.95 RCW or to parole services provided for offenders paroled before June 10, 1982.
