Motion Text
AB 1899 Cervantes Concurrence in Senate Amendments By WARD
Summary
(1) Existing law includes maxims of jurisprudence in civil law. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to some of these provisions. (2) Existing law requires that, if a jury commissioner requires a person to complete a questionnaire, the questionnaire must ask only questions related to juror identification, qualification, and ability to serve as a prospective juror. Existing law authorizes a court or trial judge to require a prospective juror to complete such additional questionnaires as may be deemed relevant and necessary for assisting in the voir dire process or to ascertain whether a fair cross section of the population is represented as required by law, or as proposed by counsel in a particular care to assist the voir dire process. This bill would require, after January 1, 2026, the Judicial Council to adopt a standard of judicial administration to ensure that juror identification and any juror questionnaire is inclusive, as specified.
