Summary

The California Constitution entitles the victim of a crime to restitution. Existing law requires the court in each criminal case to order a convicted defendant to pay restitution, as specified. Existing law requires the order of restitution to include interest at the annual rate of 10%. Under existing law, certain delinquent payments, including payments for fines, fees, and restitution, may be referred to the Franchise Tax Board for collection. Existing law imposes interest on these delinquent payments. This bill would change the annual interest rate on restitution orders and the annual interest rate charged by the Franchise Tax Board on certain delinquent payments, including fines, fees, and restitution, to no more than 1%.
