TITLE 17 CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

Section 14. Restitution and Distribution of Profits to Victims of Crimes, 17-14-1 through 17-14-32.

ARTICLE 1 RESTITUTION

17-14-16. Transmission of copies of restitution orders to the Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile Justice, and to the Department of Community Supervision.

If an offender who is ordered to pay restitution under this article is remanded to the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile Justice, the court shall transmit a copy of the restitution order to such department and to the Department of Community Supervision when the order is issued.

(Code 1933, § 27-3015, enacted by Ga. L. 1980, p. 1382, § 1; Ga. L. 2005, p. 88, § 5/HB 172; Ga. L. 2015, p. 422, § 5-38/HB 310.)

The 2015 amendment, effective July 1, 2015, substituted "transmit a copy of the restitution order to such department and to the Department of Community Supervision when the order is issued" for "provide a copy of the restitution order to such department when the offender is remanded to such department's jurisdiction". See Editor's notes for applicability.
