If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes regarding traffic violations by introducing new requirements for citations issued for civil traffic violations or misdemeanor criminal offenses. Specifically, it would mandate that such citations must be signed by the presiding judge of the court adjudicating the citation. If a citation lacks the judge's signature, it would be deemed void, and the court would be required to notify the charged individual of this status.

The bill would insert provisions clarifying the consequences of an unsigned citation, which include the citation being void and the obligation for the court to inform the individual charged. This change aims to enhance the legal validity of traffic citations and ensure that individuals are properly informed of their legal standing regarding any citations issued against them.
