This bill proposes to amend current statutes regarding the issuance of moving civil traffic violations. Under the existing law, a moving civil traffic violation can be issued by a peace officer or a duly authorized traffic agent. The new bill language specifies that moving civil traffic violations may only be issued by a peace officer or prosecutor. This change restricts the authority to issue such violations, thereby eliminating the role of duly authorized traffic agents in this process. Additionally, the bill includes a technical amendment to the existing statute by modifying the language in section 28-1592. Specifically, it updates the phrasing regarding the amendment of citations when changes are made by a peace officer or traffic agent, replacing "pursuant to the Arizona rules of civil" with procedure for to clarify the context. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the process and clarify the authority responsible for issuing moving civil traffic violations.
