§ 130.10  Summons; definition, function, form and content.
  1. A summons is a process issued by a local criminal court directing a
defendant designated in an information, a  prosecutor's  information,  a
felony complaint or a misdemeanor complaint filed with such court, or by
a superior court directing a defendant designated in an indictment filed
with  such  court,  to  appear  before it at a designated future time in
connection with such accusatory  instrument.  The  sole  function  of  a

action for the purpose of arraignment upon the accusatory instrument  by
which such action was commenced.
  2.   A  summons must be subscribed by the issuing judge and must state
or contain (a) the name of the issuing court, and (b) the  name  of  the
defendant  to  whom  it  is  addressed,  and (c) the name or title of an
offense charged in the underlying accusatory  instrument,  and  (d)  the
date  of  issuance  of the summons, and (e) the date and time when it is
returnable, and (f) a direction that the  defendant  appear  before  the
issuing court at such time.
