03.10.11 The House Judiciary Criminal Laws subcommittee gave this bill a favorable report with an amendment. The amendment provides that an arrest warrant can only be issued by a member of a law enforcement agency acting in their official capacity. Also, it states that if an arrest warrant is sought by anyone other than law enforcement it must be a courtesy summons.  If the defendant fails to appear in court on the courtesy summons, the court must issue an arrest warrant if the sworn statement in the courtesy summons establishes probable cause.
Summary of the bill as introduced: Prevents entities other than law enforcement agencies from seeking arrest warrants except in cases of fraudulent checks. If the check is presented to the magistrate at the time the warrant is sought, a warrant may be issued by the magistrate.
