A deferred prosecution, in Washington, is an agreement by the State not to prosecute a DUI in exchange for the defendant's agreement to enter into and complete a two year intensive outpatient alcohol/drug/or mental health treatment program.
You may have a deferral for one moving and one non-moving infraction only once every 7 years anywhere in the state. You cannot commit another infraction within this deferral period.
The Deferred Prosecution program allows the Prosecutor to Defer Prosecuting your case, provided you complete treatment requirements ordered by the court, pursuant to an assessment you complete with a state certified treatment provider.
In essence, it involves putting a ticket on hold for six to 12 months; if during that time the individual complies with the conditions of the deal, then their ticket will be dismissed. A traffic ticket deferral can only be done once every seven years for a moving or non-moving violation.
