3     (d) In determining the amount and method of payment of a

5 Chapter 15 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, the court shall
6 consider:
7         (1) the financial resources and future ability of the
8     offender to pay the fine; and
9         (2) whether the fine will prevent the offender from
10     making court ordered restitution or reparation to the
11     victim of the offense; and
12         (3) in a case where the accused is a dissolved
13     corporation and the court has appointed counsel to
14     represent the corporation, the costs incurred either by the
15     county or the State for such representation.
16     (e) The court may order the fine to be paid forthwith or
17 within a specified period of time or in installments.
18     (f) All fines, costs and additional amounts imposed under
19 this Section for any violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of
20 the Illinois Vehicle Code, or a similar provision of a local
21 ordinance, and any violation of the Child Passenger Protection
22 Act, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, shall be
23 collected and disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under
24 Section 27.5 of the Clerks of Courts Act.
