Hearing (House)
Summary
The bill changes Maryland's jury qualification rules to exclude anyone currently serving a sentence of more than one year, anyone convicted of perjury, witness or jury intimidation, or certain fraud offenses, and anyone who cannot understand English or has a documented disability that prevents service. It also bars those with pending serious charges, but allows pardoned individuals to serve. The goal is to protect the integrity of juries.
