Courts; Uniform Traffic Ticket and Complaint; disposition by law enforcement officer further provided

HB 15 proposes to amend Alabama law concerning the disposition of uniform traffic tickets. Currently, any person, including law enforcement officers, who solicits or aids in the unauthorized handling of a traffic ticket can be held in criminal contempt by the court. This bill would create an exception, stating that the *issuing law enforcement officer* would not be subject to this specific criminal contempt power for soliciting or aiding in the unauthorized disposition of a uniform traffic ticket. Other individuals, including non-issuing officers or public employees, would still be subject to these contempt charges for similar actions. The act would become effective on October 1, 2025.
