This bill eliminates the automatic disqualification from jury service for those convicted of an "indictable offense" (a type of felony in New Jersey), except for those convicted of murder or aggravated sexual assault. It also requires that juror source lists be updated within four months of the bill's enactment to reflect this change in qualifications.
