When deferred disposition is granted for an Alcoholic Beverage Code offense, attendance at an alcohol awareness program is required.

• A. True
• B. Not required
• C. Only for first offense
• D. Not specified

Answer: (A)

Deferred disposition means the court postpones final punishment and imposes conditions you must meet. For offenses under the Alcoholic Beverage Code, attending an alcohol-awareness program is a common and standard condition. This education helps you understand the impact of alcohol use and supports safer choices, aiming to prevent future violations. If you complete the program (along with any other required conditions) within the specified time, the court typically dismisses the case or avoids a final conviction. If you don’t attend, the deferred disposition can be revoked and the original charges may proceed. So, attendance at an alcohol-awareness program is usually required, making the statement true.
