Washington State Deferred Prosecution Programs are authorized for misdemeanor charges pursuant to the Revised Code of Washington 10.05. This statute allows any misdemeanor charge to be deferred for alcohol, drug, or mental health reasons that have contributed to the misdemeanor offense, provided the individual begins and completes the recommended treatment program.
A few of the benefits of Deferred Prosecution Programs are:
1. The individual gets treatment.
2. The individual's record does not reflect a conviction.
3. The individual usually does not serve jail time, provided they complete the program.
4. In the case of DUI, the individual does not lose their driver's license.
5. The individual's insurance is often not raised.
