§ 19.2-353.5. Interest on fines and costs.
No interest shall accrue on any fine or costs imposed in a criminal case or
in a case involving a traffic infraction for a period of ninety [
forty sixty ] days from the date of the final judgment
imposing such fine or costs or during any period the defendant is
incarcerated as a result of that case. In no event shall interest accrue in
such cases during any period in which a fine, costs, or both a fine and costs
