HB 2394: Limitations for jurors

Establishing limitations for jurors.

Summary

  • The existing definition of "jury term" is changed to mean the time during which summoned jurors must be available to report for juror service and a jury term is limited to one month. "Juror service," is defined as the time a juror must be present at the court facility. The time may not extend beyond the jury term, and may not exceed two weeks except when necessary to complete an ongoing trial.
