TCA § 40-28-203 — Department of correction supervision and rehabilitation fund — Collection of funds — Authorized expenditures — Disposition of revenues

There is established a department of correction supervision and rehabilitation fund. All funds collected for defraying of the costs of supervision and rehabilitation pursuant to § 40-28-201(a)(1) and (2) shall be paid over to the department before the tenth day of each month for deposit in the fund established by this section. The purpose of the fund is to promote the safety of the public by ensuring better supervision of individuals released into the community. All the funds shall be withdrawn or expended only for the purpose of employing additional probation and parole personnel, mandatory random drug screening for all persons covered by § 40-28-201(a)(1) and (2), continuing education and training of existing personnel, establishing additional programs whereby an offender may become gainfully employed for the purpose of learning a trade, supporting the person's family and making restitution to the victim, and establishing and providing office and operational supplies for programs to facilitate the inmate's safe and productive return to the general public upon the expiration of the person's parole or probation. Moneys retained in the supervision and rehabilitation fund shall be invested by the state treasurer under appropriate rules and regulations, to the end that adequate funds will be available for the purposes of this section. Revenues that are produced for the supervision and rehabilitation fund shall not revert to the state general fund and shall not be subject to impoundment or allotment reserve, but shall be managed on a revolving no-quarter basis.
