J. JONES, Justice,
specially concurring.
I concur in the Court’s opinion, except to the extent it may suggest that proceedings to collect upon a fine imposed as part of the sentence in a judgment of conviction in a criminal ease are subject to any statute of limitations. In my estimation, no statute of limitations applies to the collection of a fine, monetary penalty, or restitution provision contained in a judgment of conviction in a criminal case. The provisions of Idaho Code §§ 5-201 through 248 are contained in Title 5, which pertains to “Proceedings in Civil Actions in Courts of Record.” Those provisions do not apply to criminal judgments.
