HB 540 Personal service of summonses for minor violations.

Introduced by: William C. Mims | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Personal service of summonses for minor violations. Removes an apparently redundant and confusing reference in the section governing procedures upon a failure to appear in response to a violation of a trash or parking ordinance. It has been understood that the limitation on the use of contempt and arrest found in subsection C applies only where the person was summoned for the traffic or parking violation and not if the summons were issued under § 19.2-76 for any other violation. That is, the reference to § 19.2-76 in subsection C was intended to refer back to the reference in subsection B.
