Version:

Requires the Judiciary to contract with a collection agency or licensed attorney to collect delinquent court-ordered fees, fines, sanctions, and court costs.  Repeals the authority of the Judiciary to contract with a collection agency or licensed attorney to collect delinquent restitution.  Expressly allows courts to specify a period of time or installments for payment of fees and restitution.  Requires courts to hold payment compliance hearings once per year or as soon as practicable, until all fees, fines, and restitution are fully paid, and requires a defendant to appear and show cause if the defendant fails to pay in full within a time specified by the court or fails to pay three consecutive installments.  Makes corresponding amendments to related statutes.
