Expands the pool of eligible jurors in Mississippi to include citizens with a driver's license and who have filed state income taxes.
Mississippi SB2361 amends the state's code to expand the definition of a competent juror. Eligible jurors must now have a current and valid Mississippi driver's license and have filed state income taxes for at least one of the two previous tax years. This change aims to broaden the pool of potential jurors, ensuring a more diverse and representative jury pool. The bill also includes provisions for disqualification based on inability to complete a juror qualification form and other disqualifying factors.
