Bill > HB2608

This bill requires the State Court Administrator to conduct a comprehensive study on juries and submit a detailed report to the interim legislative committees focused on judiciary matters by September 15, 2026. The study is expected to explore various aspects of jury selection, performance, and potential systemic improvements, and may include legislative recommendations. The bill includes a sunset provision, meaning the study requirement will automatically be repealed on January 2, 2027, effectively making this a temporary legislative directive. The reference to ORS 192.245 suggests the report will be prepared in accordance with existing state guidelines for official reporting. By mandating this study, the legislation aims to gather structured insights into jury processes that could potentially inform future judicial reforms or legislative actions related to the jury system in Oregon.
