The proposed bill would amend section 28-1592 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the procedures related to civil traffic violations. Under the new law, the language regarding the amendment of citations would be clarified by inserting "for" after "pursuant to the Arizona rules of civil" in subsection C, which pertains to the amendment process when a peace officer or traffic agent changes details on the original citation.
Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision in subsection D, stating that a moving civil traffic violation may only be issued by a peace officer, thereby reinforcing the authority of peace officers in issuing such violations. This insertion emphasizes the exclusivity of peace officers in this context, while the current law remains unchanged in other respects.
