A. The department of juvenile corrections restitution fund is established for the payment of restitution and monetary assessments by youths who are ordered to pay restitution or monetary assessments and who are financially unable to pay or who are otherwise unable to be employed to earn money to pay restitution or monetary assessments and who are working in the committed youth work program prescribed by section 41-2822 or the community work program established by section 41-2825. The fund consists of federal, state and local appropriations and grants, gifts, devises and donations from any public or private source. The fund shall be used to pay a youth for the youth's work in the committed youth work program prescribed by section 41-2822 and to provide monies for the community work program established by section 41-2825.
B. The director may direct the payment of monies from the fund to the victim or the court for community restitution activities the youth does to pay restitution or monetary assessments that were ordered by the juvenile court or that the youth agreed to pay as part of a community work program administered by the department. If a youth performs community restitution pursuant to this subsection, the entity providing the work shall supervise the youth's work. The youth shall be credited for each hour worked at an hourly rate set by the director.
C. As monies are available, the department shall pay from the fund youths who perform work or community restitution activities for restitution and monetary assessments purposes.
