Does a judge have authority to order a second restitution fine upon revocation of probation?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Rivas, C072621 (Cal. App. 2015):
A trial court has no statutory authority to order a second restitution fine upon revocation of probation. (People v. Chambers (1998) 65 Cal.App.4th 819, 822.) Therefore, we must vacate the restitution fines imposed by the trial court upon revocation of probation.
