This Act adds violations of a county or municipal code to the list of offenses that are eligible for probation before judgment. County and municipal code violations are similar in nature to the types of offenses that were previously eligible for probation before judgment and are appropriate for this type of sentencing option if all of the listed requirements are met. Probation before judgment would only be allowable where the person has not violated another county or municipal code provision in five years prior to the offense for which probation before judgment is sought. Any offense for which probation before judgment is not permissible in the Delaware Code shall not be subject to probation before judgment.

An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Probation Before Judgment.
