Vermont ends fees for people under supervision

Beginning July 1, 2027, Vermont’s Department of Corrections cannot charge, bill, or collect supervision fees, previously allowed up to $30 monthly. The department must forgive all unpaid supervision fees and remove those debts from its records and web portal. It must stop collection agencies, wage garnishment, and tax-refund collections for these fees, coordinating with other agencies to end collection. Nonpayment cannot count as a violation of probation, parole, furlough, or any other sentence. The law also repeals the related fee and fund provisions and requires removal of fee references from rules, policies, and procedures. The department must notify the Secretary of State about repealed rules. Its authority to hire collection agencies for criminal fines, penalties, and restitution remains unchanged.
