[§184-5.2] Summons or citations. There
shall be a form of summons or citation for use in citing violators of the state
parks, historical objects and sites, and outdoor recreation laws and
regulations; traffic laws and ordinances; and the laws of the State and the
rules and regulations of the department relative to the protection and proper
utilization of the recreational, scenic, historical, natural and
archaeological, scientific and related resources of state lands and lands
within the conservation district which do not mandate the physical arrest of
the violators. The summons or citation shall be printed in a form commensurate
with the form of other summons or citations used in modern methods of arrest
and shall be so designed to include all necessary information to make it valid
and legal within the laws and regulations of the State. The form and content
of the summons or citations shall be as adopted or prescribed by the district
courts.
In every case when a summons or citation is
issued the original of the same shall be given to the violator; provided that
the district courts may prescribe the issuance to the violator of a carbon copy
of the summons or citation and provide for the disposition of the original and
any other copies.
Every summons or citation shall be
consecutively numbered and each carbon copy shall bear the number of its
respective original. [L 1974, c 245, pt of §2]
