Expands jury pool sources to include registered voters, income tax form recipients, and public assistance and unemployment compensation recipients.
This bill modifies the source list for prospective jurors in Maine to include registered voters, persons to whom state income tax forms have been mailed, recipients of public assistance benefits, and recipients of state unemployment compensation. These groups will supplement the existing lists of licensed drivers and persons issued an identification card by the Secretary of State. The expanded source list aims to increase the size and balance of jury pools.
