On health & safety and penal code cases, if you have not been placed on deferred disposition ("deferred") in the past 12 months for a non-traffic offense, you may request to be placed on deferred. If you are placed on deferred, the judge will give you a series of conditions that you are to comply with by specific deadlines. The term of the deferred period cannot exceed beyond the term of 180 days. The normal cost of a deferred is the fine plus $50 and state fees. The terms of your probation include but are not limited to: immediate payment, cannot receive any non- traffic citations, keep your address updated with the court during deferred period, and must file a statement of compliance with the court during the last two weeks of your probationary period. Non-compliance with any of the terms will result in a conviction and immediate collection of the full range of fine and state fees ($584 subject to increase).
