REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former SF § ll-138(d),
(e), and (f).

In subsection (a) of this section, the former
reference to administering "affirmations" is deleted
as unnecessary in light of Art. 1, § 9 of the Code,
which authorizes an affirmation to be made instead of
an "oath".
