Michigan HB4091 proposes to eliminate local jury boards and establish a centralized jury process.

The state court administrative office, under the supervision of the supreme court, will develop rules for jury selection, including the creation of a standard juror qualifications questionnaire.

The centralized process aims to ensure consistent and efficient jury selection across the state.
