circuit clerk, who shall disburse the moneys as ordered by the court;

(2) Be responsible for overseeing the collection of restitution;

(3) Set the amount of restitution to be paid;

(4) Set the amount and frequency of each restitution payment or require the payment to

be made in a lump sum;

(5) Monitor the payment of the restitution to assure that payment is being made;

(6) If restitution is not being paid as ordered, hold a hearing to determine why the

restitution is not being paid;

(7) If the restitution is not being paid and no good reason exists therefor, institute

sanctions against the defendant; and

in full and all other aspects of the probation order have been successfully

completed.
