Bill > SB999

This bill, known as the "Third Amendment Reaffirmation and Protection Act," clarifies jury service eligibility for active duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces serving outside of West Virginia. Specifically, it amends existing law to state that a prospective juror who is an active duty service member serving outside the state, has given up their primary residence due to that service but still claims West Virginia residency, and would need to be housed at another's residence, is not automatically disqualified from jury duty but may be excused by the court if they request it. This provision aims to protect the rights of these service members while acknowledging the practicalities of their situation.
