Eliminates past conviction of indictable offense as disqualifier for jury service.
AI Summary
This bill eliminates past conviction of an indictable offense (a serious criminal offense) as a disqualification for jury service in New Jersey. It amends the existing law on juror qualifications to remove the provision that disqualified individuals with prior convictions of indictable offenses from serving on juries. The bill also requires that juror source lists be updated within four months of the bill's enactment to account for this change in juror qualifications.
