REQUIRING FINES, COSTS, RESTITUTION FOR DAMAGES, SUPPORT, OR COMMUNITY SERVICES
FROM PROBATIONER (§ 19.2-305)

A. While on probation the defendant may be required to pay in one or several
sums a fine or costs, or both such fine and costs, imposed at the time of being
placed on probation as a condition of such probation, and the failure of the
defendant to pay such fine or costs, or both such fine and costs, at the
prescribed time or times may be deemed a breach of such probation. The
provisions of this subsection shall also apply to any person ordered to pay
costs pursuant to &#xA7; 19.2-303.3.

B. A defendant placed on probation following conviction may be required to make
at least partial restitution or reparation to the aggrieved party or parties for
damages or loss caused by the offense for which conviction was had, or may be
required to provide for the support of his spouse or others for whose support he
may be legally responsible, or may be required to perform community services.
The defendant may submit a proposal to the court for making restitution, for
providing for support, or for performing community services.

C. No defendant shall be kept under supervised probation solely because of his
failure to make full payment of fines, fees, or costs, provided that, following
notice by the probation and parole officer to each court and attorney for the
Commonwealth in whose jurisdiction any fines, fees, or costs are owed by the
defendant, no such court or attorney for the Commonwealth objects to his removal
from supervised probation.
