(a) (1) The administrative office of the courts (AOC), in consultation with the general sessions judges conference, court clerks' association, the sheriffs' association and the association of chiefs of police, shall design and promulgate a uniform general sessions court warrant. The purpose of the warrant is to make uniform the information contained on the warrant so that the AOC can compile accurate data on cases in general sessions courts across the state and to make the transfer of the warrant or information contained on the warrant to the AOC as quick and efficient as possible.
(2) Upon the warrant being promulgated, it shall be used exclusively in all general sessions courts and other courts when exercising general sessions court jurisdiction; provided, in general sessions courts that use a warrant containing substantially the same information as that contained on the uniform warrant and where warrant information collected by the AOC is collected and maintained electronically by the general sessions court clerk, a non-uniform warrant may be used.
(b) The AOC, in consultation with the general sessions judges conference, Tennessee bar association, court clerks' association, Tennessee trial lawyers' association and the sheriffs' association, shall design and promulgate a uniform general sessions civil warrant. Upon the civil warrant being promulgated, it shall be used exclusively in all general sessions courts and other courts when exercising general sessions court jurisdiction; provided, in general sessions courts that use a civil warrant containing substantially the same information as that contained on the uniform civil warrant and where civil warrant information collected by the AOC is collected and maintained electronically by the general sessions court clerk, a non-uniform civil warrant may be used.
