AOSC 16-28 | IN RE: FLORIDA COURTS TECHNOLOGY COMMISSION

The purpose of the Florida Courts Technology Commission is to oversee, manage, and direct the development and use of technology within the judicial branch under the direction of the Florida Supreme Court, as specified in Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.236. In carrying out that purpose, the Florida Courts Technology Commission shall perform its rule-based responsibilities consistent with The Long-Range Strategic Plan for the Florida Judicial Branch 2016-2021, including but not limited to Goal 4.4 (Improve data exchanges and integration processes with the clerks of court and other justice system partners).

One of the primary responsibilities of the Commission is to promote public trust and confidence in the judicial branch by delivering timely, consistent, and useful information through traditional and innovative communication methods, as well as utilizing compatible technology infrastructures to improve case management to meet the needs of the judicial branch and court users.

When the Commission was re-established in 2010, a system of staggered terms was instituted to avoid majority turnover in any year. Some members’ terms will expire on June 30, 2016. To accomplish the continuing tasks of modernizing court processes through automation and expanding self-service options for court users, as well as safeguarding the security, integrity, and confidentiality of court data and technology systems, the following individuals are hereby reappointed to serve as members of the Commission for a term that begins on July 1, 2016, and expires on June 30, 2019:
