If you use this website to make a credit/ debit card payment on your financial obligation with the Los Angeles County Probation Department, the payment will be disbursed in compliance with § 1203.1d. of the California Penal Code, as amended from time to time, the current text of which states:

(a) In determining the amount and manner of disbursement under an order made pursuant to this code requiring a defendant to make reparation or restitution to a victim of a crime, to pay any money as reimbursement for legal assistance provided by the court, to pay any cost of probation or probation investigation, to pay any cost of jail or other confinement, or to pay any other reimbursable costs, the court, after determining the amount of any fine and penalty assessments, and a county financial evaluation officer when making a financial evaluation, shall first determine the amount of restitution to be ordered paid to any victim, and shall then determine the amount of the other reimbursable costs.

If payment is made in full, the payment shall be apportioned and disbursed in the amounts ordered by the court.

If reasonable and compatible with the defendant's financial ability, the court may order payments to be made in installments.

(b) With respect to installment payments and amounts collected by the Franchise Tax Board pursuant to Section 19280 of the Revenue and Taxation Code and subsequently transferred by the Controller pursuant to Section 19282 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, the board of supervisors shall provide that disbursements be made in the following order of priority:

(1) Restitution ordered to, or on behalf of, the victim pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 1202.4 [of the California Penal Code].

(2) The state surcharge ordered pursuant to Section 1465.7 [of the California Penal Code].

(3) Any fines, penalty assessments, and restitution fines ordered pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1202.4 [of the California Penal Code]. Payment of each of these items shall be made on a proportional basis to the total amount levied for all of these items.

(4) Any other reimbursable costs.

(c) The board of supervisors shall apply these priorities of disbursement to orders or parts of orders in cases where defendants have been ordered to pay more than one court order.

The use of fraudulently acquired or transferred credit/ debit cards and the fraudulent use or attempted fraudulent use of credit/ debit cards to make payments or court ordered financial obligations will be referred to the agencies authorized by law to investigate and prosecute violations of criminal law and may result in the filing of new charges as well as violations of probation.
