Restitution fines.
Summary
Existing law requires the court, in every case in which a person is convicted of a crime, to impose a separate and additional restitution fine, except under a specified circumstance. Restitution fines are deposited in the Restitution Fund in the State Treasury, and are continuously appropriated to the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board for specified purposes. Existing law requires the restitution fine to be not less than $200 if the person is convicted of a felony, and not less than $100 if the person is convicted of a misdemeanor. This bill would increase the minimum restitution fine to $300 if the person is convicted of a felony. By increasing moneys deposited in a continuously appropriated fund, this bill would make an appropriation.
