Deferred disposition is a process in which the judge requires the defendant to adhere to certain terms. If a defendant successfully completes those terms, the case will be dismissed. Terms may include, but are not limited to, refraining from committing certain violations during a specified time period, attending a defensive driving class, or completing a specified number of community service hours. If the defendant does not complete the terms of deferred disposition or attend required educational classes, an additional fine will be imposed and a conviction entered on their driving record. Deferred disposition may not be paid through the on-line fine payment system.
You are not required to send payment with your request for deferred disposition. If your request is granted, the court will send a reply including the amount due and the due date. For answers to frequently asked deferred disposition questions, review the Deferred Disposition Questions page.
