What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill prohibits the Department of Corrections from collecting supervision fees from an individual who is or was previously on probation, parole, or supervised release until all restitution owed by that individual has been paid. Under current law, DOC may not collect supervision fees from an individual who owes restitution debt while that person is on probation, parole, or supervised release, but current law is silent as to whether supervision fees may be collected once that individual is no longer on probation, parole, or supervised release if a civil judgment has been entered for that individual's restitution debt.
This bill also directs the director of state courts to ensure that the court system website organizes restitution by the individual who owes restitution, not by the case in which restitution is owed, and to apportion all payments made by an individual across all victims to whom he or she owes restitution. Currently, the court system website organizes debt by the case in which restitution debt is owed, which allows an individual making a payment through the website to select which case to pay restitution towards.

This bill changes the statute of limitations for a civil action to enforce a restitution order so that such an action may be filed at any time. Under current law, a civil action to enforce a restitution order must be filed within 20 years.
The bill requires that DOC or clerks of courts certify outstanding restitution debt to the Department of Revenue unless the victim requests that the debt not be certified. Under current law, clerks of courts may certify restitution debt but are not required to do so. This bill also requires DOR to begin collection efforts at the time of certification. Under current law, there is no required time frame in which DOR must begin collection efforts. The bill also requires DOR to apply collected amounts to outstanding child support and restitution debt before any other debt.
