The bill requires the state court administrator to administer a division that is charged with reminding criminal defendants to appear at their scheduled hearings in the county courts and district courts of the state. The objective of the division is to significantly reduce the number of defendants who are committed to the custody of a county jail solely as a result of their failure to appear in court.
