Expands list of eligible jurors by removing juror disqualification for criminal convictions and including DOLWD and DCA record in juror source list.

This bill (A909) expands jury eligibility in New Jersey by removing permanent disqualification for people with past criminal convictions. It allows individuals who are no longer in custody or under supervision (like probation or parole) to serve as jurors, ending current restrictions for certain convictions. The bill also adds records from the Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD) and Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to the juror source list, which currently includes registered voters, licensed drivers, and tax filers. This change aims to broaden jury pools by including people applying for unemployment benefits or other state assistance.
