Okla. Stat. tit. 10A, § 10A-2-2-404: Deferral of delinquency adjudication proceedings

A. A court may defer delinquency adjudication proceedings for

one hundred eighty (180) days, plus an additional one hundred eighty

(180) days as provided in subsection C of this section, if the

child:

1. Is alleged to have committed or attempted to commit a

delinquent offense that if committed by an adult would be a

misdemeanor or a felony;

2. Enters into a stipulation that the allegations are true or

that sufficient evidence exists to meet the burden of proof required

for the court to sustain the allegations of the petition; and

3. Has not been previously adjudicated a delinquent.

If the child is alleged to have committed or attempted to commit

a delinquent offense that if committed by an adult would be a

felony, the deferral shall be upon agreement of the district

attorney.

B. During such period of deferral, the court may require the

following:

1. Participation in or referral to counseling, a period of

community service, drug or alcohol education or treatment,

vocational training or any other legal activity which would be

beneficial to the child and the family of the child;

2. Require the child to undergo a behavioral health evaluation

and, if warranted by the mental condition of the child, undergo

appropriate care or treatment;

3. Restitution providing for monetary payment by the parents or

child, or both, to the victim who was physically injured or who

suffered loss of or damage to property as a result of the conduct

alleged;

4. An alternative diversion program; or

5. Any other programs and services that may be provided through

public or private agencies and as approved by the court.

C. The court shall dismiss the case with prejudice at the

conclusion of the deferral period if the child presents satisfactory

evidence that the requirements of the court have been successfully

completed. The court may order a one-hundred-eighty-day extension

of the deferral period if the court determines that the child has

made satisfactory progress and that such extension is necessary to

accomplish treatment goals and objectives.

D. As used in this section, "alternative diversion program"

means a program for juveniles who have been identified by law

enforcement personnel, the district attorney, or the court as having

committed acts which are not serious enough to warrant adjudication

through the juvenile court process, but which do indicate a need for

intervention to prevent further development toward juvenile

delinquency. The program shall be administered, pursuant to

contract with the Office of Juvenile Affairs, by organizations

designated as youth services agencies by law.
