The ADRA is not in a position to advertise for AEP’s. This can pose many legal problems. We will continue to post a list of current AEP’s and contact information for these groups, including websites if available.

d. Felony waivers when in Diversion Programs

If a person is in a diversion program, then charge/sentence has not been adjudicated. However, if that person does not have a felony conviction, then there is nothing to waive and a CIT can be granted.

Cannot put moratorium on our law. 4 | P a g e Minutes of ADRA Board Meeting of 6/17/11
