§ 305.6 District Attorneys Council - Duties.

The District Attorneys Council helps local district attorneys set up deferred prosecution programs in their areas. A deferred prosecution program lets certain defendants avoid a conviction if they meet specific conditions set by the court or prosecutor, like completing community service or staying out of trouble for a set period.

The Council's job is to support district attorneys as they build these programs, not to run them directly. It also creates standard forms that district attorneys across the state can use for this purpose. This helps keep the process consistent from one county to another, so defendants and attorneys know what to expect no matter where the case is being handled.
