HB2046 proposes amendments to the definition of the "master jury list" in Arizona law. The bill seeks to expand the information included in the master jury list to encompass not only the names and addresses of eligible jurors but also their dates of birth, and if available, their telephone numbers and email addresses. This change would apply to the lists provided by the county recorder and the Department of Transportation to the jury commissioner or jury manager. The bill also includes technical and conforming changes to align with the updated definition.
The current law only requires the names and addresses of eligible jurors to be included in the master jury list. The proposed bill would enhance the jury list with additional contact information, potentially improving the efficiency and effectiveness of juror summons and communication processes. The bill does not change the restrictions on disclosing information provided by the Department of Transportation, which is to be used solely for juror selection purposes.
