Establishes authority for cities to issue municipal search warrants for ordinance violations

This bill grants cities the authority to issue search warrants for ordinance violations, nuisance abatement, and evidence collection, affecting local peace officers, code enforcement officers, and prosecutors. Under the new rules, these officials must submit a written application verified by oath that details the specific property or person to be searched and provides facts establishing probable cause, while oral testimony is not permitted. A municipal judge reviews the application and supporting affidavit to decide whether to issue the warrant, which must then be executed within ten days by authorized city officers. The legislation also allows for the use of electronic signatures and electronic submission of documents to facilitate the warrant process.
