Florida Traffic Court Rule 6.455
RULE 6.455. AMENDMENTS
The charging document may be amended by the issuing officer
in open court at the time of a scheduled hearing before it
commences, subject to the approval of the official. The official shall
grant a continuance if the amendment requires one in the interests
of justice. No case shall be dismissed by reason of any informality
or irregularity in the charging instrument.
Committee Notes
1988 Amendment. The revision deletes the word “may” and substitutes
the word “shall.” This brings the rule in accord with due process.
