Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1.  That § 19.2-305.4 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 19.2-305.4. When interest to be paid on award of restitution.

The court, when ordering restitution pursuant to § 19.2-305 or § 19.2-305.1, may provide in the order for interest on the amount so ordered restitution. If the court orders the payment of interest, it shall accrue from the date of the loss or damage unless the court specifies a different date in the order, at the rate specified in § 6.1-330.54. If the order requires interest and does not specify that the interest shall accrue from the date of the loss or damage, the interest shall automatically accrue from the date of the sentencing order.
