Defendant; deferred disposition in a criminal case, license suspension.

Summary
Deferred disposition in a criminal case; license suspension; driving while under the influence. Permits a trial court, with the agreement of the Commonwealth if the charge is ineligible for sealing, to suspend the driver's license of a defendant for a period of not less than 10 days nor more than six months when deferring disposition. The bill also allows a trial court to defer judgment for a violation of driving while intoxicated and require that the defendant participate in and successfully complete an alcohol safety action program and prohibit the defendant from operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock system. The bill excludes from its provisions any person with a commercial driver's license or commercial learner's permit or who was operating a commercial motor vehicle during the alleged violation.
