requires the Chief Judge of the District Court to delineate the means used to execute
citations by a police officer. Finally, it requires the Chief Judge of the District Court to
authorize specified citations to include a summons.
House Bill 459, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 587.
Sincerely,
