What is the restitution fine structure for juvenile offenders?
The basic restitution fine structure is: • Misdemeanor convictions are limited to a maximum of $100. • Felony convictions shall not be less than $100 and not more than $1,000. In setting the fine, the seriousness and gravity of the offense, as well as the extent to which others suffered losses as a result of the offense, should be taken into consideration. This ensures that the fine assessed is commensurate with the crime. Note that a separate hearing for establishing the fine is not required. (Welf. & Inst. Code section 730.
