Except as provided under § 33.35, whenever a person is subject to a complaint for a penal violation under § 33.20(A) or (C), he or she shall be served by the enforcement officer with a written citation and summons to appear in the court of jurisdiction at a time and date of which he or she shall be notified. If the violation alleged is a traffic violation, the form of complaint and summons (uniform traffic ticket) prescribed by I.C. 9-30-3-6 shall be used for this purpose, and in accordance with I.C. 34-28-5-1, the same form may be used for any other kind of penal violation complaint when no different form has been prescribed. The enforcement officer shall mark the form as a local ordinance violation in the space provided, and if the form has not been so preprinted shall also modify it to read "judgment for the town" rather than "judgment for the state" in the appropriate space. However, if a department or agency of the municipal corporation does not find that the form and tenor of the Uniform Traffic Ticket is very suitable for purposes of citing violations under its jurisdiction, it may, with the approval of the municipal prosecutor and the judge of the court of jurisdiction, prescribe and use a different form of complaint and summons.
