Bill > HB133

This bill clarifies that municipal courts in New Mexico have the statutory authority to order restitution for violations of municipal ordinances. The key provisions of the bill include: (1) allowing municipal courts to order restitution as a condition of probation or parole for violations of municipal ordinances, in addition to violations of the Criminal Code; (2) specifying the factors the court must consider in approving or modifying the defendant's restitution plan; and (3) clarifying that a restitution order constitutes a judgment and lien that can be enforced like a civil judgment.
