Summary

The Trial Jury Selection and Management Act, until January 1, 2021, authorizes a criminal defendant and the state to each exercise 6 peremptory challenges during jury selection, if the offense charged is punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of one year or less, or 10 peremptory challenges each, if the offense charged is punishable by more than one year of imprisonment, but not by imprisonment for life or by death, except as provided for defendants who are jointly tried. After January 1, 2021, the act authorizes a criminal defendant and the state to each exercise 6 peremptory challenges during jury selection, if the offense charged is punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of 90 days or less, or 10 peremptory challenges each, if the offense charged is punishable by more than 90 days of imprisonment, but not by imprisonment for life or by death, except as provided for defendants who are jointly tried. This bill would instead make the above-described change in the number of peremptory challenges operative on January 1, 2024. The bill would also make a technical change to delete an outdated reporting requirement.
