AB 1927 California Assembly · 2015-2016 Regular Session

Criminal procedure: notice to appear.

Summary

Existing law, under specified circumstances, requires an officer or his or her superior to prepare in duplicate a written notice for an arrested person to appear in court. Existing law requires that when an officer or the prosecuting attorney has filed the notice to appear with the court, an exact and legible duplicate copy of the notice, in lieu of a verified complaint, constitutes a complaint to which the defendant may plead "guilty" or "nolo contendere." This bill would provide that, if the notice to appear issued to and signed by the arrested person is being transmitted in electronic form, the copy of the notice to appear issued to the arrested person need not include the signature of the arrested person, unless specifically requested by the arrested person.
