HOUSE BILL NO. 480 

Offered January 10, 2018 

Prefiled January 8, 2018 

A BILL to amend and reenact � 19.2-305.2 of the Code of 
 Virginia, relating to restitution; enforcement. 
---------- 

Patron-- Bell, Robert B. 

---------- 

Referred to Committee for Courts of Justice 

---------- 

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That � 19.2-305.2 of the Code of Virginia is amended and 
 reenacted as follows:

� 19.2-305.2. Amount of restitution; enforcement.

A. The court, when ordering restitution pursuant to � 
 19.2-305.1, may require that such defendant, in the case of an offense 
 resulting in damage to or loss or destruction of property of a victim of the 
 offense, (i) return the property to 
 the owner or (ii) if return of the property is impractical or impossible, pay 
 an amount equal to the greater of the value of the property at the time of the 
 offense or the value of the property at the time of sentencing.

B. An order of restitution may be docketed as provided in � 
 8.01-446 when so ordered by the court or upon written request of the victim and 
 may be enforced by a victim named in the order to receive the restitution in 
 the same manner as a judgment in a civil action. Enforcement 
 by a victim of any order of restitution docketed 
 as provided in � 8.01-446 is not 
 subject to any statute of limitations. 
 Such docketing shall not be construed to prohibit the court from exercising any 
 authority otherwise available to enforce the order of restitution.
