Statutory Penalties Fines in Idaho

In Idaho, the maximum term for a statutory penalty fine default is six months of imprisonment, as set by Idaho Code § 18-112. This statute governs the consequence when a person fails to pay a fine imposed by law, specifying that the court may order confinement for up to that period. The provision applies broadly to any fine where no other specific penalty is prescribed for nonpayment. The law does not dictate a fixed dollar amount or formula; instead, it grants the court discretion within the six-month ceiling. Factors and exceptions are detailed in the statute itself. The worked example below illustrates how the calculation proceeds under this rule. For an estimate tailored to your situation, use the DocketMath calculator with the official source.
