SB 60, introduced by Senator Steele, creates the judicial computer systems commission to evaluate and analyze the computer systems used by courts and law enforcement agencies in Indiana.
Presumably this commission is a response to dissatisfaction with Judicial Technology and Automation Committee (JTAC) progress over the years. There is and has been a statewide court computer system in the works for years. A lot of money has been spent and the progress has been spotty, at least to the outside observer. Looks like some legislators want to get a look at what’s going on.
Maybe they could just find an old free version of the ‘PROMIS’ software and load that on state-wide?
;-)
What the blurb above doesn’t mention is that a court record keeping fee pays for the court’s case management system. You don’t use the court, you don’t pay the bill. Progress as not been “spotty.” If deploymenthas been slow at all – and it has not – it is because of the many and various outdated vendor software systems scattered throughout the Indiana judiciary with which the court has had to contend.
