1203.1
. (a) The court, or judge thereof, in the order granting
probation, may suspend the imposing or the execution of the sentence
and may direct that the suspension may continue for a period of time
not exceeding the maximum possible term of the sentence, except as
hereinafter set forth, and upon those terms and conditions as it
shall determine. The court, or judge thereof, in the order granting
probation and as a condition thereof, may imprison the defendant in a
county jail for a period not exceeding the maximum time fixed by law
in the case.
However, where the maximum possible term of the sentence is five
years or less, then the period of suspension of imposition or
execution of sentence may, in the discretion of the court, continue
for not over five years. The following shall apply to this
subdivision:
(1) The court may fine the defendant in a sum not to exceed the
maximum fine provided by law in the case.
(2) The court may, in connection with granting probation, impose
either imprisonment in a county jail or a fine, both, or neither.
(3) The court shall provide for restitution in proper cases. The
restitution order shall be fully enforceable as a civil judgment
forthwith and in accordance with Section 1202.4 of the Penal Code.
(4) The court may require bonds for the faithful observance and
performance of any or all of the conditions of probation.
(b) The court shall consider whether the defendant as a condition
of probation shall make restitution to the victim or the Restitution
Fund. Any restitution payment received by a court or probation
department in the form of cash or money order shall be forwarded to
the victim within 30 days from the date the payment is received by
the department. Any restitution payment received by a court or
probation department in the form of a check or draft shall be
forwarded to the victim within 45 days from the date the payment is
received, provided, that payment need not be forwarded to a victim
until 180 days from the date the first payment is received, if the
restitution payments for that victim received by the court or
probation department total less than fifty dollars ($50). In cases
where the court has ordered the defendant to pay restitution to
multiple victims and where the administrative cost of disbursing
restitution payments to multiple victims involves a significant cost,
any restitution payment received by a probation department shall be
forwarded to multiple victims when it is cost effective to do so, but
in no event shall restitution disbursements be delayed beyond 180
days from the date the payment is received by the probation
department.
(c) In counties or cities and counties where road camps, farms, or
other public work is available the court may place the probationer
in the road camp, farm, or other public work instead of in jail. In
this case, Section 25359 of the Government Code shall apply to
probation and the court shall have the same power to require adult
probationers to work, as prisoners confined in the county jail are
required to work, at public work. Each county board of supervisors
may fix the scale of compensation of the adult probationers in that
county.
(d) In all cases of probation the court may require as a condition
of probation that the probationer go to work and earn money for the
support of his or her dependents or to pay any fine imposed or
reparation condition, to keep an account of his or her earnings, to
report them to the probation officer and apply those earnings as
directed by the court.
(e) The court shall also consider whether the defendant as a
condition of probation shall make restitution to a public agency for
the costs of an emergency response pursuant to Article 8 (commencing
with Section 53150) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 2 of the
Government Code.
(f) In all felony cases in which, as a condition of probation, a
judge of the superior court sitting by authority of law elsewhere
than at the county seat requires a convicted person to serve his or
her sentence at intermittent periods the sentence may be served on
the order of the judge at the city jail nearest to the place at which
the court is sitting, and the cost of his or her maintenance shall
be a county charge.
(g) (1) The court and prosecuting attorney shall consider whether
any defendant who has been convicted of a nonviolent or nonserious
offense and ordered to participate in community service as a
condition of probation shall be required to engage in the removal of
graffiti in the performance of the community service. For the purpose
of this subdivision, a nonserious offense shall not include the
following:
(A) Offenses in violation of the Dangerous Weapons Control Law, as
defined in Section 23500.
(B) Offenses involving the use of a dangerous or deadly weapon,
including all violations of Section 417.
(C) Offenses involving the use or attempted use of violence
against the person of another or involving injury to a victim.
(D) Offenses involving annoying or molesting children.
(2) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1), any person
who violates Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 29610) of Division 9
of Title 4 of Part 6 shall be ordered to perform not less than 100
hours and not more than 500 hours of community service as a condition
of probation.
(3) The court and the prosecuting attorney need not consider a
defendant pursuant to paragraph (1) if the following circumstances
exist:
(A) The defendant was convicted of any offense set forth in
subdivision (c) of Section 667.5 or subdivision (c) of Section
1192.7.
(B) The judge believes that the public safety may be endangered if
the person is ordered to do community service or the judge believes
that the facts or circumstances or facts and circumstances call for
imposition of a more substantial penalty.
(h) The probation officer or his or her designated representative
shall consider whether any defendant who has been convicted of a
nonviolent and nonserious offense and ordered to participate in
community service as a condition of probation shall be required to
engage in the performance of house repairs or yard services for
senior citizens and the performance of repairs to senior centers
through contact with local senior service organizations in the
performance of the community service.
(i) (1) Upon conviction of any offense involving child abuse or
neglect, the court may require, in addition to any or all of the
above-mentioned terms of imprisonment, fine, and other reasonable
conditions, that the defendant shall participate in counseling or
education programs, or both, including, but not limited to, parent
education or parenting programs operated by community colleges,
school districts, other public agencies, or private agencies.
(2) Upon conviction of any sex offense subjecting the defendant to
the registration requirements of Section 290, the court may order as
a condition of probation, at the request of the victim or in the
court's discretion, that the defendant stay away from the victim and
the victim's residence or place of employment, and that the defendant
have no contact with the victim in person, by telephone or
electronic means, or by mail.
(j) The court may impose and require any or all of the
above-mentioned terms of imprisonment, fine, and conditions, and
other reasonable conditions, as it may determine are fitting and
proper to the end that justice may be done, that amends may be made
to society for the breach of the law, for any injury done to any
person resulting from that breach, and generally and specifically for
the reformation and rehabilitation of the probationer, and that
should the probationer violate any of the terms or conditions imposed
by the court in the matter, it shall have authority to modify and
change any and all the terms and conditions and to reimprison the
probationer in the county jail within the limitations of the penalty
of the public offense involved. Upon the defendant being released
from the county jail under the terms of probation as originally
granted or any modification subsequently made, and in all cases where
confinement in a county jail has not been a condition of the grant
of probation, the court shall place the defendant or probationer in
and under the charge of the probation officer of the court, for the
period or term fixed for probation. However, upon the payment of any
fine imposed and the fulfillment of all conditions of probation,
probation shall cease at the end of the term of probation, or sooner,
in the event of modification. In counties and cities and counties in
which there are facilities for taking fingerprints, those of each
probationer shall be taken and a record of them kept and preserved.
(k) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law to the contrary,
except as provided in Section 13967, as operative on or before
September 28, 1994, of the Government Code and Section 13967.5 of the
Government Code and Sections 1202.4, 1463.16, paragraph (1) of
subdivision (a) of Section 1463.18, and Section 1464, and Section
1203.04, as operative on or before August 2, 1995, all fines
collected by a county probation officer in any of the courts of this
state, as a condition of the granting of probation or as a part of
the terms of probation, shall be paid into the county treasury and
placed in the general fund for the use and benefit of the county.
(l) If the court orders restitution to be made to the victim, the
entity collecting the restitution may add a fee to cover the actual
administrative cost of collection, but not to exceed 15 percent of
the total amount ordered to be paid. The amount of the fee shall be
set by the board of supervisors if it is collected by the county and
the fee collected shall be paid into the general fund of the county
treasury for the use and benefit of the county. The amount of the fee
shall be set by the court if it is collected by the court and the
fee collected shall be paid into the Trial Court Operations Fund or
account established by Section 77009 of the Government Code for the
use and benefit of the court.
