	50	+	Capital letters or bold & italic numbers indicate new material to be added to existing statute.
	51	+	Dashes through the words indicate deletions from existing statute. The bill requires every defendant to be automatically enrolled in
	52	+	the program and allows a defendant to opt out of the program. The bill
	53	+	clarifies that defendants alleged to have committed traffic offenses are
	54	+	enrolled in the program. The bill requires the program to use the best
	55	+	contact information available to the courts. The bill requires the program
	56	+	to provide at least 3 reminders, including one reminder the day before the
	57	+	court appearance, and, for court appearances that can be attended
	58	+	virtually, the final reminder must include a link to the virtual court
	59	+	appearance. The program must send reminders by text message, but may
	60	+	use another method if a defendant is unable to receive text messages.
	61	+	The program is required to track the number of defendants that opt
	62	+	out of the program and to implement or recommend changes to improve
	63	+	participation. The judicial department is required to report information
	64	+	regarding reminders sent by methods other than text message.
	65	+	Because defendants are automatically enrolled in the program, the
	66	+	bill repeals provisions related to notifying defendants of the opportunity
	67	+	to enroll in the program.
