New Jersey S4608 amends the qualifications for jury service to allow individuals with past convictions of indictable offenses to serve on juries, except for those convicted of murder or aggravated sexual assault. This change removes the automatic disqualification for jury service based solely on a past conviction of an indictable offense, whether under New Jersey, another state's, or federal law. The bill updates juror source lists to reflect these changes and takes effect immediately upon enactment.
