19        The court may order a higher amount than indicated by the

 

20  table, up to the maximum of $135.00 multiplied by the number of

 

21  months of probation ordered but not more than 36 months, if the

 

22  court determines that the probationer has sufficient assets or

 

23  other financial resources to warrant the higher amount. If the

 

24  court orders a higher amount, the amount and the reasons for

 

25  ordering that amount shall be stated in the court order. The fee

 5  duration.

 

 6        (7) The court may waive the fee required to be collected under

10  thereafter, the state court administrative office shall determine

 

11  the fee amount for the fees that must be collected under this

 

12  section to ensure that the total funds collected by the department

 

13  of corrections under this section are not less than those collected

15  year that the amendatory act that added this subsection becomes

 

16  effective.

 

17        (9) As used in this section, "electronic monitoring device"

22        Sec. 1. (1) In all prosecutions for felonies, misdemeanors, or

 

23  ordinance violations other than murder, treason, criminal sexual

 

24  conduct in the first or third degree, armed robbery, or major

 

25  controlled substance offenses, if the defendant has been found

 

26  guilty upon verdict or plea and the court determines that the

 

27  defendant is not likely again to engage in an offensive or criminal


 1  course of conduct and that the public good does not require that

 

 2  the defendant suffer the penalty imposed by law, the court may

 

 3  place the defendant on probation under the charge and supervision

 

 4  of a probation officer.

 

 5        (2) In an action in which the court may place the defendant on

 

 6  probation, the court may delay sentencing the defendant for not

12  236, MCL 600.1060 to 600.1082. 600.1088. When sentencing is

 

13  delayed, the court shall enter an order stating the reason for the

 

14  delay upon the court's records. The delay in passing sentence does

 

15  not deprive the court of jurisdiction to sentence the defendant at

 

16  any time during the period of delay.

18  subsection (5), if a defendant is before the circuit court and the

21  corrections shall collect a supervision fee of not more than

23  but not more than 12 months, if the individual is placed on

 

24  supervision without electronic monitoring. If the individual is

 

25  placed on supervision with an electronic monitoring device under

 

26  this subsection, the court shall include in the delayed sentence

 

27  order that the department of corrections collect a supervision fee


 1  of $60.00 multiplied by the number of months of supervision ordered

 

 2  under the delay of sentence, but not more than 12 months. The fee

 

 3  is payable when the delayed sentence order is entered, but the fee

 

 4  may be paid in monthly installments if the court approves

 

 5  installment payments for that defendant. In determining the amount

 

 6  of the fee, the court shall consider the defendant's projected

 

 7  income and financial resources. The court shall use the following

 

 8  table of projected monthly income in determining the amount of the

 

 9  fee to be ordered:

18        The court may order a higher amount than indicated by the

 

19  table, up to the maximum of $135.00 multiplied by the number of

 

20  months of delay ordered but not more than 12 months, if the court

 

21  determines that the defendant has sufficient assets or other

 

22  financial resources to warrant the higher amount. If the court

 

23  orders a higher amount, the amount and the reasons for ordering

 

24  that amount shall be stated in the court order. The fee shall must

 

25  be collected as provided in section 25a of the corrections code of

 

26  1953, 1953 PA 232, MCL 791.225a. A person shall must not be subject

 

27  to more than 1 supervision fee at the same time. If a supervision
