Florida Rules of Traffic Court
|
6.455. Amendments
The charging document may be amended by the issuing
officer in open court at the time of a scheduled
hearing before it commences, subject to the approval
of the official. The official shall grant a continuance if
the amendment requires one in the interests of justice.
No case shall be dismissed by reason of any informality
or irregularity in the charging instrument.
Committee Notes
1988 Amendment. The revision deletes the word “may” and
substitutes
the word “shall.” This brings the rule in accord with
due process.
