VIRGINIA ACTS OF ASSEMBLY -- CHAPTER An Act to amend and reenact § 19.2-305.3 of the Code of Virginia, relating to day fines. [H 1165] Approved

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 19.2-305.3 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 19.2-305.3 Day fines; definition.

On and after July 1, 1997, the court, when imposing a fine pursuant to §§ 18.2-10 and 18.2-11, may impose such fines based on a day fine schedule pursuant to this section.

For the purposes of this section, "day fines" means fines which are determined by the defendant's ability to pay and are available to the courts in a schedule based on units which match the statutory penalty for each offense and translate into dollar amounts.

The provisions of this section shall expire on July 1, 2001.
