5. If this charge is a violation of Title 46 RCW or similar municipal ordinance, I have not previously been placed on a deferred prosecution for a Title 46 RCW or similar municipal ordinance violation.
6. If this charge is a domestic violence offense, I have not previously been placed on a deferred prosecution for a domestic violence offense, this charge was not originally charged in superior court as a felony offense, and a prior stipulated order of continuance was not previously granted. RCW 10.05.010; RCW 10.05,.160.

I understand that I will be required to pay an application fee with my travel or transfer request.
17. If I fail or neglect to comply with any part of my treatment plan or with any ignition interlock device requirements, then the court will hold a hearing to determine whether I should be removed from the deferred prosecution program. After the hearing, the court will either order that I continue with treatment or be removed from deferred prosecution and enter judgment. If I am convicted of a similar offense during the deferred prosecution, the court will revoke the deferred prosecution and enter judgment.
18. The court will dismiss the charge(s) against me in this case 3 years from the end of the 2-year treatment program and following proof to the court that I have complied with the conditions imposed by the court following successful completion of the 2-year treatment program, but no less than 5 years from the date the deferred prosecution is granted, if the court grants this petition and if I fully comply with all the terms of the court order placing me on deferred prosecution. However, when a deferred prosecution is ordered for a petition brought under RCW 10.05.020(1) involving a domestic violence behavior problem and the court has received proof that the I have successfully completed the domestic violence treatment plan, the court shall dismiss the charges pending against me. RCW 10.05.120(3).
