The citation shall require the defendant to appear in court on the citation at the time certain which shall not be less than five (5) nor more than twenty-one (21) days after the date of the citation; provided, the administrative district judge may order that in specific counties that the appearance date shall be on or after one day and on or before a second date, and the Idaho Uniform Citation form may be amended accordingly. If a defendant appears on a citation within the time stated in the citation and the citation has not been delivered to the court, the court may dismiss the citation.
(b)Exception - Second Offense or Enhanced DUI; Stalking in the Second Degree; Domestic Assault or Battery; Violation of a Domestic Violence Protection Order; Violation of a No Contact Order; Sexual Battery; or Violation of a Protection Order for Malicious Harassment Notwithstanding subsection (a), a defendant arrested or cited and subsequently released for 'Driving Under the Influence (Second Offense),' Idaho Code § 18-8005(4) 'Driving Under the Influence (Enhanced Penalty),' Idaho Code § 18-8004C; Stalking in the Second Degree," Idaho Code § 18-7906; "Domestic Violence," Idaho Code § 18-918 (assault or battery); "Violation of a Domestic Violence Protection Order," Idaho Code § 39-6312; "Violation of a No Contact Order," Idaho Code § 18-920; "Sexual Battery," Idaho Code § 18-924; or "Violation of a Protection Order for Malicious Harassment," Idaho Code § 18-7907, shall personally appear before a magistrate, for arraignment, within forty-eight (48) hours following the arrest or citation excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.

At the arraignment, the court may order any appropriate conditions of release, pursuant to Idaho Criminal Rule 46. and Idaho Criminal Rule 46.2. Failure to conduct the arraignment within forty-eight (48) hours shall not constitute grounds for dismissal. A person arrested or cited who remains in custody shall make an initial appearance before a magistrate as provided in Idaho Criminal Rule 5.
(c) Citizen Citation. The uniform citation may be signed by any person in whose presence an alleged offense occurred and be witnessed by a peace officer whose name shall be endorsed on the citation.
(d) Service of Citation.

(e) Citation After Arrest. The peace officer may arrest a defendant when permitted by law and thereafter sign the complaint in a uniform citation which shall constitute the complaint for prosecution of the criminal action.
(f) Warrant of Arrest. The peace officer may sign the complaint in a uniform citation and present it to a magistrate for the issuance of a warrant of arrest upon the showing of probable cause as provided in Rules 4 and 5 of the Idaho Criminal Rules.
