CLERKS OF COURT: Provides relative to the jury commission in Lincoln Parish
HB 93 (Lincoln Parish Jury Commission Function) transfers the duties of the jury commission in Lincoln Parish to the clerk of court or a designated deputy clerk. This means the clerk (or their deputy) will now manage jury pools, coordinate jury selection, and handle related tasks previously handled by a separate jury commission. The clerk will perform these duties with the same legal authority and receive standard compensation for a jury commissioner. The bill specifically applies only to Lincoln Parish and streamlines local court operations by consolidating these responsibilities.
