§ 19.2-353.5. Interest on fines and costs
No interest shall accrue on any fine or costs imposed in a criminal case or in a case involving a traffic infraction for a period of forty days from the date of the final judgment imposing such fine or costs or during any period the defendant is incarcerated as a result of that case. In no event shall interest accrue in such cases during any period in which a fine, costs, or both a fine and costs are being paid in deferred or installment payments pursuant to an order of the court. Whenever interest on any unpaid fine or costs accrues, it shall accrue at the judgment rate of interest set forth in § 6.1-330.54.
