SB984 amends the West Virginia Code to clarify that a petition to restore firearms rights may include the right to serve on a jury for certain nonviolent first offenders. The bill specifies that the right to serve on a jury and the right to possess a firearm are automatically restored to any person who has not previously been convicted of a felony offense or other disqualifying offense under state or federal law. The court may enter an order allowing the person to serve on a jury and to possess a firearm if the possession would not violate any federal law.
