FAQ

Higher-level felony crimes – usually defined as crimes punishable by more than one year in prison – include crimes such as assault, burglary or murder.
Deferred Disposition is an option that will keep your citation from being reported as a conviction on your driving record.
Deferred disposition is an option to have your citation dismissed and not reported to your driving record. In order to have your citation dismissed, you must complete a 90 day probationary period in which no additional citations are received and satisfy all requirements of the deferral order.
The benefits of a deferred disposition are that you can avoid a criminal record and avoid a change to your driving record that could increase your insurance fees.
A deferred sentence will still be on your criminal history after you complete the probation period.
