Text

Upon conviction of any person of a crime which has resulted in the injury or destruction of property for which reimbursement is provided for under a program established pursuant to this article, in addition to the requirements of Section 13964 the court shall take into consideration the defendant’s economic condition, and unless it finds such action will cause the family of the defendant to be dependent upon public welfare, may, in addition to any other penalty, order the defendant to pay a fine in an amount sufficient to pay for the replacement or repair of the property injured or destroyed but not more than the fair market value of such property. That portion of the fine not subject to the provisions of Section 13964 shall be appropriated to the county or city whose legislative body has established such a program and shall be used to pay claims which have been allowed pursuant to provisions adopted by the legislative body pursuant to this article.
If the legislative body of a county and the legislative body of a city therein, have both established such a program, such portion of the fine shall be paid to the county or city which actually has paid the claimant.
