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

Michigan HB4091 amends the Michigan Revised Judicature Act to create a centralized jury process, replacing local jury boards. 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 bill also outlines procedures for summoning jurors, compensating them, and handling exemptions and deferrals. The centralized process aims to ensure consistent and efficient jury selection across the state.
