Ind. Courts - Wabash Circuit Court among those receiving grant

The Wabash Plain Dealer reports:

The Wabash Circuit Court here was among courts in 70 counties sharing in more than half a million dollars in grant funding to upgrade equipment and training in light of new federal regulations concerning the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

The grants will allow courts to more quickly transmit data electronically to the BMV. The new regulations require counties, within 10 days, to notify the BMV of serious offenses committed by Commercial Drivers License holders.

Said Indiana Chief Justice Randall Shepard, “We wanted to bring local courts the tools and technology they needed to meet the new federal regulation. Keeping unsafe drivers off our roadways is important for the safety of all Hoosiers.”
