This Court reviews fines as sentencing conditions. In reviewing a sentencing condition, we first review the condition for legality, to determine whether it falls within statutory parameters. A sentence outside the statutory parameters is illegal. Our standard of review of that question of law is de novo. If the condition is legal, we then review its reasonableness to determine whether the district court abused its discretion. State v. Dennison, 2008 MT 344, ¶ 10, 346 Mont. 295, 194 P.3d 704.
We review the sentence imposed by the court and, more specifically, the fine imposed for legality only, confining our review to determining whether the court had the statutory authority to impose the sentence, whether the sentence falls within the parameters set by the applicable sentencing statutes, and whether the court adhered to the affirmative mandates of the applicable sentencing statutes. This determination is a question of law and, as such, our review is de novo. State v. Stephenson, 2008 MT 64, ¶ 15, 342 Mont. 60, 179 P.3d 502.
