Wyoming § 5-6-116

• Jurisdiction: Wyoming
• Title 05: Courts
• Ch. 6: MUNICIPAL COURTS
• Art. 1: IN GENERAL

Text

(a) Notwithstanding W.S. 7-13-302 through 7-13-305, when
imposing a fine for breach of an ordinance that is punishable by
fine only, a municipal judge may suspend all or part of the fine
for a specified period, not to exceed six (6) months, during
which the defendant must meet specified conditions. The
conditions imposed shall only require the defendant to conform
his conduct to the requirements of the ordinance and shall not
prohibit lawful conduct. When suspending a fine, a municipal
judge must:
(i) Specify the amount of the fine to be suspended;
and
(ii) Specify the conditions the defendant must meet
to avoid imposition of the suspended portion of the fine,
including the date by which the conditions must be met.
(b) If a defendant fails to comply with the conditions
specified, the municipality may commence proceedings to impose
the suspended portion of the fine during the period of
suspension or within thirty (30) days thereafter. If after
notice and a hearing the court determines the defendant failed
to comply with the conditions of the suspended fine, the court
may proceed to deal with the case as if no suspension of fine
had been ordered.
