Justification: (state briefly why legislative action is requested)
The Albany County Probation Department is the designated Pre Trial Service Agency having been certified by The Office of Court Administration. This is specific to new laws in NYS which took effect 1.1.2020, regarding Bail Reform. Having been certified, it is mandated The Pre Trial Agency must provide Electronic monitoring to all courts of Albany County per New York State Criminal Procedure Law 510.40. Electronic monitoring may be ordered when Courts find no other realistic non-monetary condition will suffice to reasonably assure a defendants return to court. Additional funding is required to meet this new mandate.
