Ind. Courts - JTAC and BMV team up in Delphi
The Carroll County Comet's report on the Delphi City Council meeting Monday evening includes this:
The Indiana Supreme Court's Judicial Technology and Automation Committee (JTAC) of the Division of State Court Administration, and the Bureau of Motor Vehicles partnered with the Delphi City Court to streamline transmission of driver information. Court staff is now electronically transmitting court information and data to the BMV and state court administration on a secure site.Delphi's court is complying with state regulations requiring convictions of individuals carrying a Commercial Drivers License be transmitted to the BMV within ten days of the conviction. Because courts and clerks do not always know when a person holds a CDL, the BMV and JTAC have determined this initiative must include all licensed drivers to be successful.
JTAC and the BMV determined Indiana courts must take immediate steps to achieve substantial compliance with the recent changes in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) notification requirements. Previously city court was transmitting data and information exclusively by US mail and fax to the various reporting agencies.
However, court information and data sent electronically can be processed the same day by the BMV through the Incite secure Web site. Therefore, the BMV, law enforcement agencies, and courts can know the driving status of motor vehicle operators almost immediately.
Driver suspensions and reinstatement of driving licenses can occur in a timelier manner also.
The new system will assist the court in gathering statistical data for filing with the Indiana Supreme Court's Quarterly Case Status Reports and other activity reports.
