Criminal fines: collection.

Existing law generally authorizes fines, including restitution fines, and restitution orders to be deemed a money judgment that is fully enforceable as if the order were a civil judgment, and makes any portion of the restitution order that remains unsatisfied after a defendant is no longer on probation, parole, postrelease community supervision, or mandatory supervision, or after a term in custody enforceable, as specified. Existing law authorizes a local collection program to continue to enforce restitution orders once a defendant is no longer on probation, postrelease community supervision, or mandatory supervision or after a term in custody. This bill would make any portion of a restitution order that remains unsatisfied after a defendant has completed diversion enforceable. The bill would also authorize a local collection program to continue to enforce restitution orders after a defendant has completed diversion.
