Bill Summary
For legislation to improve juror service responses. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to improve juror service responses by making several changes to the existing law. It amends the language used from "juror confirmation form" to "juror summons response," simplifies the information required in the summons, and requires jurors to respond within 10 days of receiving the summons, with provisions for a second summons if no response is received. The bill also allows jurors to confirm their service through various means, including telephonic and electronic methods, and gives the jury commissioner authority to limit the number of postponements allowed to maintain the integrity of the juror pools.
