For what offenses are plea agreements applicable?

• A. Those that occurred ON or AFTER 1 January 2019
• B. Those that occurred BEFORE 1 January 2019
• C. All offenses regardless of date
• D. Only offenses involving misappropriation

Answer: (A)

Plea agreements are governed by a date-based scope. In this context, only offenses that occurred on or after January 1, 2019 are eligible to be resolved through plea agreements under the updated rules. Offenses that happened before that date fall under the prior procedures and aren’t subject to the new plea terms. For example, a case arising in 2018 would follow the old framework, while a case arising in 2019 or later can be handled under the newer plea-terms framework. It’s not limited to misappropriation, and it doesn’t apply to all offenses regardless of date, because the rule explicitly constrains eligibility to offenses occurring on or after the specified date.
