For what offenses is the court required to report an order of deferred disposition?

• A. All traffic offenses.
• B. All minor Alcoholic Beverage Code offenses.
• C. All municipal code offenses.
• D. All criminal offenses.

Answer: (B)

When a court issues a deferred disposition, there are specific reporting requirements tied to the nature of the offense. For offenses under the Minor Alcoholic Beverage Code, the court is required to report the order of deferred disposition. This is because these cases involve alcohol-related conduct by a minor, and reporting ensures that licensing, enforcement, and public-safety records are updated appropriately. The aim is to keep state agencies informed about how such cases are resolved so that eligibility for permits, licenses, or other penalties can be tracked consistently.

Other categories like traffic offenses, municipal code offenses, or all criminal offenses do not have a universal, automatic reporting requirement for every deferred disposition in the same way. Traffic and municipal cases often follow separate reporting rules or discretionary procedures, and broad criminal offenses involve a wide range of statutes with different handling.
