SB 5169-S - DIGEST

(AS OF SENATE 2ND READING 3/18/03)

Provides that the court shall not issue any order that postpones the commencement of restitution payments until after the offender is released from total confinement.

Provides that an offender's inability to make restitution payments while in total confinement may not be the basis for a violation of his or her sentence unless his or her inability to make payments resulted from a refusal to accept an employment offer to a class I or class II job or a termination for cause from such a job.
