Bill Summary
Courts - Jury Service - Disqualification
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law on jury service qualifications in Maryland. It specifies that individuals must be adult U.S. citizens residing in the county to serve on a jury. Additionally, it disqualifies individuals who cannot comprehend or communicate in English proficiently, have a disability that prevents satisfactory jury service, have been convicted of a crime punishable by more than 1 year's imprisonment and are currently serving their sentence, or have been convicted of a crime involving witness or jury intimidation. The bill also removes a provision that allowed individuals with certain disqualifying convictions to serve on a jury if they were pardoned.
