Notwithstanding other provisions of law, when a law enforcement

officer issues a citation or ticket as the basis for a complaint or

information, for an offense against a municipal ordinance which is

declared to be a misdemeanor, the citation or ticket shall be

properly verified if:

1. The issuing officer subscribes the officer's signature on

the citation, ticket or complaint to the following statement:

"I, the undersigned issuing officer, hereby certify and

swear that I have read the foregoing information and know

the facts and contents thereof and that the facts supporting

the criminal charge stated therein are true."

Such a subscription by an issuing officer, in all respects, shall

constitute a sworn statement, as if sworn to upon an oath

administered by an official authorized by law to administer oaths;

2. The citation or ticket states the specific facts supporting

the criminal charge and the ordinance or statute alleged to be

violated; or

3. A complainant verifies by oath, subscribed on the citation,

ticket or complaint, that he has read the information, knows the

facts and contents thereof and that the facts supporting the

criminal charge stated therein are true. For purposes of such an

oath and subscription, any law enforcement officer of the state,

county or municipality of the State of Oklahoma issuing the

citation, ticket or complaint shall be authorized to administer the

oath to the complainant.
