condition for the protection of 1 or more named persons as provided

 

in subsection (2)(o), the court or a law enforcement agency within

 

the court's jurisdiction shall enter the order or amended order

the order or amended order or the condition from the law

 

enforcement information network or notify that law enforcement

 

agency and the law enforcement agency shall remove the order or


 

amended order or the condition from the law enforcement information

 

network.

 

     (5) If the court requires the probationer to pay costs under

 

subsection (2), the costs shall be limited to expenses specifically

 

incurred in prosecuting the defendant or providing legal assistance

 

to the defendant and supervision of the probationer.

 

     (6) If the court imposes costs under subsection (2) as part of

 

a sentence of probation, all of the following apply:

 

     (a) The court shall not require a probationer to pay costs

 

under subsection (2) unless the probationer is or will be able to

 

pay them during the term of probation. In determining the amount

 

and method of payment of costs under subsection (2), the court

 

shall take into account the probationer's financial resources and

 

the nature of the burden that payment of costs will impose, with

 

due regard to his or her other obligations.

 

     (b) A probationer who is required to pay costs under

 

subsection (1)(g) or (2)(c) and who is not in willful default of

 

the payment of the costs may petition the sentencing judge or his

 

or her successor at any time for a remission of the payment of any

 

unpaid portion of those costs. If the court determines that payment

 

of the amount due will impose a manifest hardship on the

 

probationer or his or her immediate family, the court may remit all

 

or part of the amount due in costs or modify the method of payment.

 

     (7) If a probationer is required to pay costs as part of a

 

sentence of probation, the court may require payment to be made

 

immediately or the court may provide for payment to be made within

 

a specified period of time or in specified installments.


 

     (8) If a probationer is ordered to pay costs as part of a

 

sentence of probation, compliance with that order shall be a

 

condition of probation. The court may revoke probation if the

 

probationer fails to comply with the order and if the probationer

 

has not made a good faith effort to comply with the order. In

 

determining whether to revoke probation, the court shall consider

 

the probationer's employment status, earning ability, and financial

 

resources, the willfulness of the probationer's failure to pay, and

 

any other special circumstances that may have a bearing on the

 

probationer's ability to pay. The proceedings provided for in this

 

subsection are in addition to those provided in section 4 of this

 

chapter.

 

     (9) If entry of judgment is deferred in the circuit court, the

 

court shall require the individual to pay a supervision fee in the

 

same manner as is prescribed for a delayed sentence under section

 

1(3) of this chapter, shall require the individual to pay the

 

minimum state costs prescribed by section 1j of chapter IX, and may

 

impose, as applicable, the conditions of probation described in

 

subsections (1), (2), and (3).

 

     (10) If sentencing is delayed or entry of judgment is deferred

 

in the district court or in a municipal court, the court shall

 

require the individual to pay the minimum state costs prescribed by

 

section 1j of chapter IX and may impose, as applicable, the

 

conditions of probation described in subsections (1), (2), and (3).
