Cap. 245 чл. 3Form of affirmation

(1) An affirmation made instead of an oath shall be in the like form as the oath instead of which it is made, but for the words "swear", "do swear" or other words connoting the making of an oath, there shall be substituted the words "solemnly affirm" with consequential verbal adaptations where necessary; and the words "so help me God", if they occur in the form of the oath, shall be omitted.

(2) Any power given by any law to prescribe the form of an oath shall include power exercisable in like manner to prescribe the form of the affirmation which may be made instead of the oath.
