909.3 Payment in installments or on a fixed date.

1. All fines imposed by the court shall be paid on the day the fine is imposed.

2. The court may, in its discretion, order a fine to be paid in installments, or may fix a date in the future which is not more than one hundred twenty days from the date the fine is imposed for the payment of the fine, whenever it appears that the defendant cannot make immediate payment, or should not be made to do so.

For good cause, the court may order that the date for payment of the fine be extended beyond one hundred twenty days from the date the fine was imposed.
