Summary

The bill orders the Judicial Council to review every three years whether superior courts send conviction abstracts to the DMV on time for serious driving offenses and to report the results to the Legislature. It also creates a statewide system for depositing all court operating money into designated accounts, with separate accounts for certain funds and contracts for handling criminal fees. The goal is to improve oversight of court finances and ensure timely DMV reporting.
