Plea in Abeyance

Eligible violators may be able to have their guilty plea held in abeyance and ultimately dismissed rather than posted as a conviction by attending a traffic class.

Eligibility

The Sandy City Prosecutor has given blanket authorization for minor traffic violators to enter a "Plea-in-Abeyance" before the Sandy Justice Court provided certain eligibility requirements are met.

Criteria

No more than one other minor moving traffic violation conviction anywhere within the last 24 months. The court will check your record!
You must not have attended a traffic class for a violation or entered into a plea-in-abeyance agreement in any court within the last 24 months.
This citation must not be for any of the following:
- Any alcohol or drug related violation
- Reckless driving or racing
- More than 30 miles per hour (mph) in a school zone
- Speeding 25 mph or more over the limit
- Multiple moving violations
- Any other serious mandatory court appearance violation

If you meet the criteria, contact the Sandy Justice Court between 5 to 14 days from the citation date at 801-568-7160 to verify eligibility. There is an additional traffic school fee paid to the authorized provider in addition to the amount of bail and surcharges.
