Relating to the eligibility of corporations to serve on juries.

HB 2897 amends Oregon law to allow corporations to serve on juries by designating an eligible individual agent. The bill adds that corporations organized under Oregon law may act as jurors in civil or criminal trials or as grand jurors, but only through a human representative who meets all standard eligibility requirements (e.g., U.S. citizenship, no disqualifying criminal history, residency). This change does not alter eligibility rules for natural persons; it specifically addresses corporate participation by requiring a qualified human agent. The bill directly affects Oregon corporations seeking jury service, while ensuring individual agents comply with existing juror qualifications.
