2010 Pennsylvania Code
Title 42 - JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE
Chapter 97 - Sentencing
9772 - Failure to pay fine.

     § 9772.  Failure to pay fine.
        Unless there is proof that failure to pay a fine or that
     portion of the fine that is due is excusable, the court may
     after a hearing find the defendant guilty of contempt and
     sentence him to not more than six months imprisonment, if a term
     of confinement of that amount could have been imposed for the
     offense charged. If an alternative sentence has been imposed
     under section 9758(c) (relating to alternative sentence), the
     alternative sentence may not take effect until there has been a
     preliminary finding of non-indigency, and a willful failure to
     pay the fine.
