 6 a criminal action, that the person to whom the subpoena is being served
 7 does not currently face criminal charges related to the case, specify
 8 that the action is related to the upcoming election of the pertinent
 9 office and the consequences of not following the subpoena. The informa-
 10 tional sheet shall be affixed to the subpoena being served and shall be
 11 written in plain language and printed in a format and type size that is
 12 clear and easy to read.
 13 § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
 14 have become a law.
