GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTAL OF ARIZONA TRAFFIC TICKET AND COMPLAINT FORMS FOR COURTS OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES

The Arizona Traffic Ticket and Complaint (ATTC) form is a multi-agency form that affects the public, the courts, and law enforcement. Therefore, law enforcement agencies are strongly encouraged to work with their applicable court(s) prior to submitting changes to ATTC forms.

Rule 4, Rules of Court Procedure for Civil Traffic, Boating, Marijuana, and Parking and Standing Violations, requires each law enforcement agency or public body responsible for issuing ATTCs to submit any “substantial variations” to the ATTC form to the Supreme Court for approval.

The substantial variation examples illustrate what is considered a substantial variation to an Arizona Traffic Ticket and Complaint (ATTC) form. This is not all-inclusive and may not address each agency’s particular situation.

APPROVAL OF AN E-CITATION (HANDHELD ATTC):  If your jurisdiction is planning on using this option, please review the information below relating to the approval of the e-Citation.
 

Approval is Needed –  If the citation you want to issue substantially deviates from Arizona Rules of Court Procedure for Civil Traffic, Boating, Marijuana, and Parking and Standing Violations, Form 11 . 

Substantial Variations:

1. Removal or addition of any data contained on the form
2. Change of size, format, or content of form
3. Any deviation from Rule 3 or Rule 4
4. Any verbiage or language change on front or reverse of the form

Non-Substantial Variations:

1. Change of court address or phone number
2. Color of ink

Approval is Needed – All Photo Enforcement citations must be submitted to the Supreme Court for approval as the photo enforcement citation is substantially different from the Arizona Traffic Ticket and Complaint (ATTC) form provided for in the Arizona Rules of Court Procedure for Civil Traffic, Boating, Marijuana, and Parking and Standing Violations, Form 11 and is considered a “substantial variation."

APPROVAL OF A PARKING, ANIMAL CONTROL, OR HANDWRITTEN ATTC:
Approval is Needed –  A citation is considered substantially different, and will require approval by the Supreme Court, if it deviates from the Arizona Traffic Ticket and Complaint (ATTC) form provided for in the Arizona Rules of Court Procedure for Civil Traffic, Boating, Marijuana, and Parking and Standing Violations, Form 11.
