Rule 30.
Citations; applicable offenses and procedures; bail.
(a) A citation issued pursuant to
Section78A-6-603 shall be sufficient to invoke the jurisdiction of the court in
any offense listed in that section.
(b) Procedure. Whenever a citation is issued
pursuant to Section 78A-6-603, a copy of the citation filed with the court may
be used in lieu of a petition upon which the minor may appear and admit the
offense, upon which the court may make a disposition, or upon which the court
may accept bail in lieu of appearance. If the minor fails to appear on a
citation or fails to tender the fine as bail in cases where bail is permitted
in lieu of appearance, a petition or order to show cause may be filed and
further proceedings held as provided in these rules.
(c) Where a citation has been filed with the
court for an offense, the minor cited shall be allowed to post bail without
further court appearance except as provided in this rule.
(d) The bail amount for each such offense
shall be included in a written notice of bailable
offenses in accordance with the bail/fine schedule approved by the Judicial
Council. The bail amount may immediately be forfeited as a fine and shall be
deemed a conviction of the offense charged if the notice has been given to the
cited minor and the notice advises the minor and the minor's parent, guardian
or custodian that payment of the fine constitutes an admission of guilt.
(e) A juvenile court district may, or where
required by statute shall, designate repeat offenses
for which an appearance or additional bail is required.
