Originally Assigned to TTMC AS PASSED BY HOUSE
Now JUD-related
ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Fifty-Sixth Legislature, Second Regular Session
AMENDED
FACT SHEET FOR S.B. 1673
failure to pay; suspension; restriction
(NOW: juror information; master jury list)
As passed by the Senate, S.B. 1673 required a court to determine if a person's failure to
pay a civil traffic penalty is willful before suspending or restricting the person's driving privileges.
The House of Representatives adopted a strike-everything amendment that does the
following:
Purpose
Requires the master jury list to include dates of birth, and, if available, telephone numbers
and email addresses of eligible jurors.
Background
Every juror of either a grand jury or trial jury must be at least 18 years old and meet the
following qualifications: 1) be a citizen of the United States; 2) be a resident of the jurisdiction in
which the juror is summoned to serve; 3) never have been convicted of a felony, unless the juror's
civil rights have been restored; and 4) is not currently adjudicated mentally incompetent or insane
(A.R.S. § 21-201).
Jury commissioner means the clerk of the superior court, except that in any county having
a population of more than 500,000 persons, the presiding judge of the superior court may appoint
a jury commissioner. A master jury list is a record of the names and addresses of eligible persons
who reside in the county and includes persons on the voter registration list of the county and other
persons who are eligible for jury service and who have a valid driver license (A.R.S. § 21-101).
It is the responsibility of the jury commissioner to produce a master jury list. The master
jury list must be comprised of the names and addresses of eligible persons who reside in the county
and may include persons on the voter registration list of the county, other persons eligible for jury
service who have a valid driver license and persons from other lists as determined by the Arizona
Supreme Court. The master jury list may be prepared to avoid duplication of the names of eligible
juror candidates (A.R.S. § 21-301).
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this
legislation.
