| maintenance fees and may apply for waivers under the | 2 |
| following circumstances: | 3 |
| (1) if the offender is paying child support; | 4 |
| (2) if the offender is actively seeking | 5 |
| employment, but remains unemployed. Unemployed | 6 |
| offenders capable of being gainfully employed are not | 7 |
| eligible for a waiver; | 8 |
| (3) if the offender, whose total verified income is | 9 |
| at or below the insufficient criteria, may be | 10 |
| considered for a waiver. An offender's income is | 11 |
| considered insufficient if it is at or below the amount | 12 |
| shown in the Insufficient Income Criteria chart | 13 |
| included in the Request for Waiver of Parole | 14 |
| Maintenance Fees. Income from all family members in the | 15 |
| household shall be used to calculate whether the waiver | 16 |
| is appropriate. If a person lives with his or her | 17 |
| family, the combined income of all family members shall | 18 |
| be used (non-relatives such as housemates, shall be | 19 |
| excluded). For a waiver to be considered, the offender | 20 |
| must provide appropriate records to document household | 21 |
| income. Once the officer verifies the offender meets | 22 |
| one of the waiver criteria above, the officer shall | 23 |
| complete the Request for Waiver of Intervention Fees | 24 |
| form and submit it to the district administrator for | 25 |
| approval. If approved, waivers are valid for a maximum | 26 |
| of 90 days. The district administrator shall make the |

| waiver entry into the computer system. If the officer | 2 |
| determines the waiver should be renewed beyond that | 3 |
| point, a new request for Waiver of Parole Maintenance | 4 |
| fees form must be submitted for approval. However, at | 5 |
| any point the officer determines that the offender is | 6 |
| again capable of paying monthly intervention fees, | 7 |
| supervisory approval is not necessary to rescind the | 8 |
| waiver. | 9 |
| (E) The following process for sanctions regarding | 10 |
| nonpayment shall be applied: | 11 |
| (1) within 10 working day of becoming aware that an | 12 |
| offender has failed to submit the parole maintenance | 13 |
| fee, the supervising officer shall contact the | 14 |
| offender in writing, by phone, or in person to remind | 15 |
| them of the payment obligation; | 16 |
| (2) the supervising officer should direct the | 17 |
| offender to specific programs or services that will | 18 |
| assist him or her in addressing his or her inability to | 19 |
| pay (i.e. financial management program, employment | 20 |
| counseling or job seeking classes, substance abuse | 21 |
| counseling, mental health counseling, etc., or a | 22 |
| combination of these); | 23 |
| (3) the supervising officer shall establish a | 24 |
| payment plan, via a written directive, with the | 25 |
| offender, to address any arrearage within a reasonable | 26 |
| time, given the offender's individual circumstances; |

| (4) should the offender become 3 months in arrears | 2 |
| on intervention fee payments, either consecutively or | 3 |
| in the cumulative, or it is determined the offender is | 4 |
| willfully failing to submit the required payments, the | 5 |
| supervising officer shall submit a violation report; | 6 |
| (5) offenders who are not current on their parole | 7 |
| maintenance fee payments shall not be eligible for | 8 |
| transfer to minimum supervision, interstate transfer | 9 |
| or early discharge consideration; | 10 |
| (6) sanctions for willful nonpayment of parole | 11 |
| maintenance fees include, but are not limited to the | 12 |
| following: | 13 |
| (i) written reprimand from the prisoner review | 14 |
| board; | 15 |
| (ii) travel restriction; | 16 |
| (iii) community service; | 17 |
| (iv) increased level of supervision. | 18 |
| Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may | 19 |
| exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under | 20 |
| the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or | 21 |
| promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this | 22 |
| amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, however, the | 23 |
| Governor believes that rules are necessary to implement or | 24 |
| enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 95th | 25 |
| General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to the General | 26 |
| Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House and the |

| Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the General | 2 |
| Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those | 3 |
| suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action | 4 |
| in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this | 5 |
| amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be | 6 |
| interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other | 7 |
| Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise | 8 |
| explicitly given. For the purposes of this subsection (g), | 9 |
| "rules" is given the meaning contained in Section 1-70 of the | 10 |
| Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, and "agency" and | 11 |
| "agency head" are given the meanings contained in Sections 1-20 | 12 |
| and 1-25 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act to the | 13 |
| extent that such definitions apply to agencies or agency heads | 14 |
| under the jurisdiction of the Governor. | 15 |
