Requires sex offenders in satellite-based monitoring program to pay for certain equipment and monitoring costs.

This bill requires sex offenders already under New Jersey's satellite-based monitoring program to pay for their monitoring equipment and daily monitoring costs, rather than the state covering these expenses. It applies to individuals deemed high-risk for reoffense and currently subject to continuous geographic tracking under the existing Sex Offender Monitoring Act. Offenders may be exempt if they prove to the State Parole Board Chairman that payment would cause "extreme financial hardship," which the Chairman must establish a test to evaluate. The bill does not change who is monitored but shifts the financial responsibility for the monitoring program from the state to the offenders themselves.
