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

This bill allows law enforcement officers to swear to traffic citations and misdemeanor citations using digital tools like video calls or phone calls instead of appearing in person before a judge. It also permits officers to administer oaths to colleagues for these documents under specific conditions. The changes apply to both traffic offenses and non-traffic misdemeanor violations covered by standard citation forms. The bill requires approved technology and maintains that physical presence before a judge is not necessary for these processes.
