ARD Program in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania

How ARD works in Lebanon County

Lebanon County ARD applications go through the DA's office with a required CRN evaluation. The smaller docket often means faster scheduling than neighboring counties.

Filing window. Applications should be filed before or shortly after the preliminary hearing to land on the next available ARD hearing date. You must not have a prior DUI conviction within 10 years and cannot have a prior ARD within 10 years — under Act 58 of 2025, a second DUI within 10 years of a prior ARD is now a new standalone offense under 75 Pa.C.S. § 3802(h) with mandatory penalties.

Lebanon courthouse & hearings

The Lebanon County Court of Common Pleas is located at 400 South 8th Street, Lebanon, PA 17042. ARD hearings happen there on a regular ARD list, typically after the CRN drug-and-alcohol evaluation is complete and the DA has approved the application.

Preliminary hearings run through Lebanon County's magisterial district courts covering the city and outlying boroughs.
