Montana Title 46. Criminal Procedure § 46-23-1010. Sexual offenders--electronic monitoring program--contract--rules

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1) The department shall establish a program for the continuous, satellite-based monitoring of sexual offenders designated as level 3 offenders under 46-23-509. The program may include:

(a) time-correlated and continuous tracking of the geographic location of a monitored person using a global positioning system based on satellite and other location-tracking technology;

(b) reporting of a monitored person's violation of prescriptive and proscriptive schedule or location requirements. Frequency of reporting may range from once-a-day, passive reporting to near-real-time, active reporting.

(c) an automated system that allows local and state law enforcement officials to compare the geographic positions of a monitored person with reported criminal incidents to determine whether the monitored person was at or near the scene of a reported criminal incident and to include or exclude a monitored person from the investigation of a criminal incident.

(2) The department shall adopt rules for the establishment and operation of the program required under subsection (1), including rules establishing supervisory fees. The department may consult with state and local law enforcement officials in developing the rules.

(3) The department shall contract with a single vendor for the procurement of the equipment and services needed to monitor persons under the program and correlate the movements of monitored persons to reported criminal incidents. The contract may provide for equipment and services necessary to implement or facilitate any of the provisions of this section and for the collection and disposition of the fees provided for in 46-23-1031 and may allow for the reasonable cost of collection of the proceeds.
