HB402

Hawaii HB402 amends jury service procedures by updating the juror qualification form and process.

Hawaii HB402 revises the juror qualification form to include the prospective juror's address, age, and other pertinent information for disqualification or exemption from jury service. The form requires a declaration of truthfulness and acknowledgment of penalties for misrepresentation. The clerk or their designee will distribute the form to prospective jurors, who must return it within ten days. The court determines the form's format and delivery method. The bill also updates the definition of "juror qualification form" and mandates that the form be subject to court approval.
