The reminders will be sent at least 7 days before and one day before the hearing, using simple language. The pilot program will automatically enroll eligible individuals, allowing them to opt-out. The Judiciary is also tasked with studying and reporting on the feasibility of expanding this program statewide by June 1, 2027.
