Courts; criminal procedure, electronic means authorized to swear warrants and citations in certain circumstances, law enforcement officers authorized to administer oaths in certain circumstances

Summary

The bill lets judges or magistrates swear and issue warrants for misdemeanors, traffic and municipal violations without being in the same room as the officer, using video, telephone or other approved electronic tools. It also permits law‑enforcement officers to swear to the facts in citations and to administer oaths to fellow officers remotely. This modernizes the citation process and reduces the need for in‑person appearances.
