The bill proposes a new provision in Minnesota Statutes, specifically in chapter 593, that establishes eligibility criteria for jurors in criminal cases. It stipulates that individuals who are currently under correctional supervision for a felony offense are ineligible to serve on a jury, including grand juries. This ineligibility remains in effect until the individual’s sentence has been fully discharged, as outlined in section 609.165.

This legislation aims to clarify and codify the existing legal framework regarding jury service for felons, ensuring that those still under supervision for felony convictions cannot participate in jury duty. The bill seeks to enhance the integrity of the jury selection process in criminal cases by excluding individuals who are still serving their sentences.
