**Application Deadline: 5:00 P. M. , December 17, 2025** In 2021, the Illinois General Assembly created the Statewide Deferred Prosecution Funding Program to provide grants to State’s Attorneys to operate deferred prosecution programs.
Deferred prosecution programs are offered at the pre-trial or prosecution phases. Deferred prosecution agreements between the state’s attorney and the participant are approved by the court. Programs may include linkage to or provision of substance abuse, anger management and other human services and/or require participants to demonstrate that they are employed or enrolled in training or education courses.
Some programs include the state’s attorney’s commitment to not oppose expungement of the arrest upon successful completion of the program. Deferred prosecution programs are often established as a complement to diversion programs which offer services in lieu of arrest in return for completion of specific objectives and no further criminal activity.
