(1) When a respondent
fails to comply with an order of restitution, community
supervision, penalty assessments, or confinement of less than
thirty days, the court upon motion of the prosecutor or its own
motion, may modify the order after a hearing on the violation.
(2) The hearing shall afford the respondent the same due
process of law as would be afforded an adult probationer. The
court may issue a summons or a warrant to compel the respondent's
appearance. The state shall have the burden of proving by a
preponderance of the evidence the fact of the violation. The
respondent shall have the burden of showing that the violation
was not a willful refusal to comply with the terms of the order.
If a respondent has failed to pay a fine, penalty assessments, or
restitution or to perform community restitution hours, as
required by the court, it shall be the respondent's burden to
show that he or she did not have the means and could not
reasonably have acquired the means to pay the fine, penalty
assessments, or restitution or perform community restitution.
(3) If the court finds that a respondent has willfully
violated the terms of an order pursuant to subsections (1) and
(2) of this section, it may impose a penalty of up to thirty
days' confinement. Penalties for multiple violations occurring
prior to the hearing shall not be aggregated to exceed thirty
days' confinement. Regardless of the number of times a
respondent is brought to court for violations of the terms of a
single disposition order, the combined total number of days spent
by the respondent in detention shall never exceed the maximum
term to which an adult could be sentenced for the underlying
offense.
(4) If a respondent has been ordered to pay a fine or
monetary penalty and due to a change of circumstance cannot
reasonably comply with the order, the court, upon motion of the
respondent, may order that the unpaid fine or monetary penalty be
converted to community restitution unless the monetary penalty is
the crime victim penalty assessment, which cannot be converted,
waived, or otherwise modified, except for schedule of payment.
The number of hours of community restitution in lieu of a
monetary penalty or fine shall be converted at the rate of the
prevailing state minimum wage per hour. The monetary penalties
or fines collected shall be deposited in the county general fund.
A failure to comply with an order under this subsection shall be
deemed a failure to comply with an order of community supervision
and may be proceeded against as provided in this section.
(5) When a respondent has willfully violated the terms of a
probation bond, the court may modify, revoke, or retain the
probation bond as provided in RCW 13.40.054.
