AB 1001

This bill requires each clerk of circuit court to notify, on the basis of the address

information used for mailing juror qualification forms, the appropriate municipal

clerk or board of election commissioners and the Elections Commission of any

prospective juror whose returned juror qualification form shows that the person does

not qualify for jury duty in that circuit because the person either is not a U.S. citizen

or does not live in the circuit for which he or she was called for jury duty. Unless a

court orders otherwise, notifications provided under the bill must be kept

confidential and are not subject to inspection and copying under state law.

Under the bill, if the Elections Commission receives a notification as provided

under the bill, the commission must examine the registration list to determine if any

prospective juror identified in the notification is registered to vote or has voted. If

the commission determines that a prospective juror who is registered to vote or has

voted does not have the necessary elector qualifications or does not satisfy the

residence requirements, the commission shall remove the person's name from the

registration list and send notice to the person and to the district attorney or attorney

general of the commission's action.
