Seriously - this may be different depending on whether it's FED, NCAA, or NFL (or CFL - JR!).

NCAA: Starts on the snap because the play in which there was a penalty stopped the clock. I BELIEVE (but won't vouch 100%) Fed is the same.

I also believe NFL is different depending on the time of the game, but am not positive of that.

I do not think the status of the clock on the previous play is part of your decision making process in ANY code.
In FED the clock status is determined by the action during the down in which the foul occurred. If the action stopped the clock, then the clock starts on the snap. If the action that caused the down to end did not cause the clock to stop, (i.e., the only reason the clock was killed was to administer the penalty) then the clock starts on the RFP.
