LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 586, as amended, Yee. Restitution fines.
Existing law requires the court, in every case in which a person
is convicted of a crime, to impose a separate and additional
restitution fine, except under a specified circumstance. Restitution
fines are deposited in the Restitution Fund in the State Treasury,
and are continuously appropriated to the California Victim
Compensation and Government Claims Board for specified purposes.
Existing law requires the restitution fine to be not less than $200
if the person is convicted of a felony, and not less than $100 if the
person is convicted of a misdemeanor.
This bill would increase the minimum restitution fine to $300 if
the person is convicted of a felony , and to $150 if the
person is convicted of a misdemeanor . By increasing moneys
deposited in a continuously appropriated fund, this bill would make
an appropriation.
