The Judicial Council of California (“Judicial Council”) seeks a vendor that will develop software to guide both court users and judicial officers through the process of resolving an infraction, including conducting an ability-to-pay determination. The determination will calculate a specific recommendation for the judge to consider and accept, or to modify. The software will be an online accessible, mobile enabled tool, allowing individuals to resolve their infraction violations without having to come into court. Defendants with infraction cases will be able to go online, create an account, and view the details of their infraction(s). Defendants will also be able to obtain information on how to resolve their case, make in-full or installment payments online, request an ability-to-pay determination as appropriate and receive information about steps toward resolution.

In October of 2016, the Judicial Council was awarded a grant under the U.S. Department of Justice “Price of Justice Initiative” to study issues related to defendants’ inability to pay criminal justice fines and fees. A primary project focus is the development of an ability-to-pay tool to help courts process determinations in a fair and efficient manner. The tool will be piloted in five (5) different court sites, providing key information necessary to understand the tool’s impact on defendant access to the court, payments and case resolution and also possibilities for potential future expansion.
