Rules of Criminal Procedure – Effective November 1, 2025
URCrP007. Initial proceedings for class A misdemeanors and felonies. Amend. The amendments to Rule 7 feature both non-substantive formatting and language updates, and a substantive change adding a new subparagraph. State and federal law requires reporting certain information in protective orders to UCJIS and NCIS databases. In an effort to increase protections for crime victims, and to ensure the continuity of data regarding protective orders maintained at the state and federal level, Rule 7 now requires that at the commencement of a prosecution by information or citation, law enforcement agencies provide identifying information for the defendant to the court to include with any required or requested pretrial protective order.
URCrP007A. Procedures for arraignment on Class B or C misdemeanors, or infractions. Amend. The amendments to Rule 7A mirror those described for Rule 7.
