Jurors; expand pool to citizens with driver's license who have filed state income taxes.

SB 2882 would expand Mississippi's juror eligibility by requiring potential jurors to have both a current Mississippi driver's license and to have filed state income taxes for at least one of the previous two tax years. This change directly affects citizens who previously qualified for jury service but lacked either a valid driver's license or recent state tax filings. The bill amends two sections of Mississippi law to add these specific qualifications to the existing requirements (like age, literacy, and criminal record checks). These provisions aim to create a more standardized and verifiable pool of eligible jurors for court cases across the state. The bill was introduced in 2025 but died in committee before becoming law.
