The punishment of day fines consists of a monetary fine that the court shall impose in day-fine units taking into consideration the greater or lesser degree of the crime. The minimum punishment shall be one day-fine and the maximum shall be a ninety (90) day-fine.\nOnce the unit of day-fines that the convicted person must satisfy is established, the daily quota of the fine shall be decided by the court based upon the convicted person’s daily income. The daily quota shall range from one dollar ($1) for each day-fine up to forty-four dollars ($44) for each day-fine.\nHistory —June 18, 2004, No. 149, § 55, eff. May 1, 2005.
