Deferral of findings

What is the name of your state? Washington.

In Washington State, if you plead guilty and accept to pay, the court can defer the findings that you were guilty for a year, and if you don't have any other moving violations within that year, then it doesn't go on your record.

So I wonder if the year that you have to keep your record clean stretches from a year from when you got the ticket, or is it a year from the court date?

From date of conviction.
