Introduced by: Rosalyn R. Dance | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Waiver of payment of interest on fines and costs.  Provides that no interest shall accrue on any fine or costs imposed in a criminal or traffic case for a period of 40 days from the date of the final judgment imposing such fine or costs or during any period the defendant is incarcerated. Current law provides for the interest waiver only for the 40-day period following, or when a defendant is incarcerated, for the current case. The bill also allows a court, for good cause shown, on motion of a defendant who is making payments or who is requesting a payment plan pursuant to § 19.2-354, to waive payment of accrued but unpaid interest on fines and costs imposed by a judgment of that court.
