Rule 4.101 Civil Infraction Actions

(1) [Unchanged.]
(2) A violation alleged on a citation may not be amended except by the prosecuting official or a police officer for the plaintiff.
(3) — (4)[Unchanged.]
(B) — (H)[Unchanged.]
Staff Comment: The amendment of MCR 4.101(A)(2) clarifies that those who may amend the violation on a citation are the prosecuting attorney or attorney for the political subdivision, the officer who issued the citation, or another police officer for the plaintiff.
The staff comment is not an authoritative construction by the Court.
