If a convicted person is sentenced to pay a fine, the court may grant permission for the payment to be made within a specified period of time or in specified installments. If such permission is not included in the sentence, the fine must be paid immediately to the clerk of the court. If the convicted person has also been ordered to pay restitution, the restitution must be paid in full prior to paying a fine under this section.
