§124A-35 Jurisdiction of summary courts-martial. (a) Subject to section 124A-32, summary courts-martial have jurisdiction to try persons subject to this chapter, except officers, for any offense made punishable by this chapter.
(b) No person with respect to whom summary courts-martial have jurisdiction may be brought to trial before a summary court-martial if the person objects thereto, unless under section 124A-21 the person has been permitted and has elected to refuse punishment under that section. If objection to trial by summary court-martial is made by an accused who has not been permitted to refuse punishment under section 124A-21, trial shall be ordered by special or general court-martial, as may be appropriate.
(c) A summary court-martial may sentence to a fine of not more than $25 for a single offense, to forfeiture of pay and allowances, and to reduction of a noncommissioned officer to the ranks. [L 1982, c 171, pt of §2; gen ch 1985]
