Amanda will have to undergo three months of alcohol education classes
Amanda Bynes reached a plea deal in her driving under the influence case.
The troubled actress - who has recently been treated for schizophrenia - faced the charges from 2012, but her lawyer managed to get the DUI charge dropped so she could plead no contest to a lesser charge of alcohol-related reckless driving.
Although she has escaped jail and a large fine, Amanda will now have to undergo three years of probation and must attend three months of alcohol education classes.
Her lawyer, Richard Hutton, told The New York Daily News: "She's doing very well. This case took some unexpected turns, but it's resolved.
"Everything is going just like it should."
Amanda - who is now living with her parents at their home in California under a mental health conservatorship - completed psychiatric treatment for both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in December.
The Hairspray star's mother, Lynn Bynes, is her temporary conservator - meaning she has control of Amanda's personal and financial affairs - and a judge overseeing her conservator duties recently praised her for her daughter's continued progress during a hearing.
