Is a defendant's attorney fees and probation costs a condition of probation?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Goodson, C079219 (Cal. App. 2017):

trial court reviewed the terms and conditions of probation with defendant. The trial court then attached to that order two pages of additional fees, assessments, and miscellaneous orders prepared by the probation department. Included within those two pages are fees and assessments that cannot be made a condition of probation, including attorney fees and probation fees. (See People v. Hart (1998) 65 Cal.App.4th 902, 907 [attorney fees and probation costs may not be conditions of probation].)
