Bill > HB5689

This bill abolishes local jury boards and creates a centralized jury selection process managed by the state court administrative office under the supervision of the supreme court. The bill requires the secretary of state to provide a combined list of driver's license and state identification card holders to the state court administrative office for creating the initial jury pool. The bill also establishes qualifications for jurors, juror compensation rates, and procedures for juror selection, excusal, and dismissal. Additionally, the bill repeals several existing sections of the Revised Judicature Act related to local jury boards and jury selection.
