AI Summary
This bill proposes to remove the lifetime ban on jury duty for convicted felons who have completed their sentencing, including any period of probation or community supervision. The existing law previously prohibited felons from serving on juries, but this bill would amend the Judiciary Law to allow felons to serve on juries after they have finished their full sentence and any associated supervision.
