### Subtitle 6. Restitution and Other Payments

#### Section 11-612

(a)

  (1) If a District Court decides to terminate a probation before a judgment of restitution has been recorded and indexed as a money judgment, the court shall direct the Clerk of the Court:

    (i) to record and index the judgment of restitution as a money judgment and forward a notice of lien to the circuit court of the county of entry of judgment before terminating the probation; and

    (ii) to forward a written notice to the person or governmental unit to whom the restitution obligor was ordered to pay restitution.

  (2) The written notice shall state that:

    (i) the judgment of restitution has been recorded and indexed as a money judgment in the District Court; and

    (ii) a notice of lien has been forwarded to the circuit court of the county of entry of judgment.

(b) Subject to the Maryland Rules, unless a restitution obligor pays complete restitution, termination of probation by a court does not affect a money judgment that has been recorded and indexed under Part I of this subtitle.
