pending against the defendant. 2
(ii) Full restitution must be a required condition for the 3
dismissal of charges. However, a defendant's inability to pay 4

dismissal following progress towards complying with court-ordered 6
conditions or as a basis for finding that the defendant has failed to 7
substantially comply with the court's conditions. 8
(c) If it appears to the prosecuting attorney that the defendant 9
is not substantially complying with the terms and conditions, after 10
providing the defendant with written notice of the alleged violations 11

person and to present evidence; and 22
(iii) If the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that 23

provide additional time for substantial compliance or end the period 26
of continuance pending dismissal and set a new commencement date.27

misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor charge, any written confirmation of 29

(2) Every state agency or municipality having jurisdiction over 3
offenses committed under this chapter, or under any other act of this 4
state or municipal ordinance adopted by a state or local authority 5
regulating the operation of motor vehicles on highways, may forward 6
to the department within 10 days of failure to respond, failure to 7
pay a penalty, failure to appear at a hearing to contest the 8
determination that a violation of any statute, ordinance, or 9
regulation relating to standing, stopping, parking, or civil 10

municipality that two or more violations of laws governing standing, 15
stopping, and parking or one or more civil penalties issued under RCW 16
46.63.160 or 46.63.200 have been committed and indicating the nature 17
of the defendant's failure to act. Such violations or infractions may 18
not have occurred while the vehicle is stolen from the registered 19
owner. The department may enter into agreements of reciprocity with 20
the duly authorized representatives of the states for reporting to 21
each other violations of laws governing standing, stopping, and 22

46.25.010, "conviction" means a final conviction in a state or 25
municipal court or by any federal authority having jurisdiction over 26
offenses substantially the same as those set forth in this title 27
which occur on federal installations in this state, an unvacated 28
forfeiture of bail or collateral deposited to secure a defendant's 29
appearance in court, the payment of a fine or court cost, a plea of 30
guilty or nolo contendere, or a finding of guilt on a traffic law 31
violation charge, regardless of whether the imposition of sentence or 32
sanctions are deferred or the penalty is suspended, but not including 33
entry into a deferred prosecution agreement under chapter 10.05 RCW 34
or entry into a judicially authorized dismissal of a misdemeanor or 35
gross misdemeanor following substantial compliance with court-ordered 36
conditions under section 2 of this act. 37

(5) For the purposes of this title, "finding that a traffic 1
infraction has been committed" means a failure to respond to a notice 2
of infraction or a determination made by a court pursuant to this 3
chapter. Payment of a monetary penalty made pursuant to RCW 4
46.63.070(2) is deemed equivalent to such a finding.5
