sentence.

A. The court shall at the time of sentencing:

1. Determine whether the property may be restored in kind to

the owner or the person entitled to possession thereof;

2. Determine whether defendant is possessed of sufficient skill

to repair and restore property damaged;

3. Provide restitution to the victim according to a schedule of

payments established by the sentencing court, together with interest

upon any pecuniary sum at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per

annum, if the defendant agrees to pay such restitution or, in the

opinion of the court, the defendant is able to pay such restitution

without imposing manifest hardship on the defendant or the immediate

family of the defendant; and

4. Determine the extent of the out-of-pocket expenses, loss or

damage to property and injury to the victim proximately caused by

the conduct of the defendant.

B. The court shall allow credit for property returned in kind,

for property damages ordered to be repaired by the defendant, and

for property ordered to be restored by the defendant and after

granting such credit, the court shall assess the actual out-of-

pocket expenses, losses, damages and injuries suffered by the

victim.

C. In no event shall a victim be entitled to recover

restitution in excess of the actual out-of-pocket expenses, losses,

damages and injuries, proximately caused by the conduct of the

defendant and restitution shall not be ordered to be paid on account

of pain or suffering, provided however, that nothing in this section

shall abridge or preclude any victim from the civil right to recover

damages by separate civil cause of action brought against the

defendant.

D. If the defendant fails to pay restitution in the manner or

within the time period specified by the court, the court may enter

an order directing the sheriff to seize any real or personal

property of the defendant to the extent necessary to satisfy the

order of restitution and dispose of such property by public sale.

All property seized for the purposes of satisfying restitution shall

be seized under the procedures established in Section 448 of this

act.

E. A sentence including provisions of restitution may be

modified or revoked by the court if the offender commits another

offense, or the offender fails to make restitution as ordered by the

court, but no sentencing provision to make restitution shall be

modified if the court finds that the offender has had the financial

ability to make restitution, and the offender has willfully refused

to do so. If the court shall find that the defendant has failed to

make restitution and that the failure is not willful, the court may

impose an additional period of time within which to make

restitution. The length of said additional period shall not be more

than two (2) years. The court shall retain all of the incidents of

the original sentence, including the authority to revoke or further

modify the sentence if the conditions of payment are violated during

such additional period.
