US Laws, Codes, Statutes & Cases

    The district attorney of each court district shall designate, with the approval of the Chief Judge of the District Court, at least one law enforcement agency that is responsible for the maintenance, administration and retention of attested copies of arrest warrants issued by the courts. If a court district encompasses more than one prosecutorial district, the respective district attorneys shall attempt to agree on the designation of an arrest warrant repository. If the district attorney of a court district fails to designate an arrest warrant repository or the district attorneys are unable to agree to the designation of an arrest warrant repository for a court district, the Attorney General shall make the designation for that court district. The district attorney or attorneys shall notify the District Court and the Superior Court of the location of the arrest warrant repository for arrest warrants in the jurisdiction covered by those courts. All attested copies of arrest warrants issued by the District Court and the Superior Court must be directed to the arrest warrant repository designated for those courts except as otherwise provided by this chapter or by the standards adopted by rule of the Attorney General pursuant to this chapter. [1993, c. 675, Pt. B, §11 (amd).]
