Legislation based on ALEC model bill would make jury service easier
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Okla-
homa Gov. Brad Henry signed
the S.B. 479 into law on June
10, strengthening the state's
jury system by making it easier
tbr citizens to serve as jurors.
Governor Henry's approval
follows the Oklahoma House
of Representatives passage of
the comprehensive jury service
improvement law by a vote of
92-7 on May 28. The bill had
passed the Oklahoma Senate
two days earlier by a 45-1
vote.
The legislation, introduced
by Representative Jari Askins
(D-Duncan) and Senator Jerry
Smith (R-Tulsa), is based on
a model Jury Patriotism Act
developed by the American
Legislative Exchange Council,
the nation's largest nonpartisan,
individual membership group of
state legislators. Oklahoma is
the eighth state to enact legisla-
tion based on ALEC's model.
"Plaintiffs and defendants in
both civil and criminal cases
deserve to receive a fair trial
before a true jury of their peers,"
said Duane Parde, ALEC's
Executive Director. "That's
why making jury service more
appealing and rewarding to
citizens is so critical. The
Jury Patriotism Act will help
strengthen Oklahoma's jury
system."
Oklahoma's new jury law
will:
Provide those summoned to
jury service with the right to
One automatic postponement
with a simple and convenient
fnethod of rescheduling service
to a more convenient time.
Reduce the length of jury ser-
vice from a two-week term with
the potential to be required to
serve as many as 18 days each
year to no more than one day at
the courthouse unless selected
to serve on a jury panel.
t Protect citizens from being
called repeatedly for jury ser-
trice by limiting jury service to
tao more than onc every two
t
years.
Fairly compensate jurors
selected to serve on lengthy
trials. Citizens who not fully
compensated by their employ-
ers would be eligible for com-
pensation of up to $200 per day
after the tenth day of service.
The additional compensation
would be financed through a
$10 fee paid by attorneys filing
civil cases in state trial courts,
and would not require an alloca-
tion of state resources.
Provide jurors with greater
employment protection. Jurors
would be protected from any
adverse action on account of
their response to a juror sum-
mons and could not be required
to use leave time in order to
serve.
Differ jury service for an
employee of a small business if
another employee of the same
business is summoned for ser-
vice during the same period.
In consideration of the addi-
tional flexibility of jury service
and to ensure the most repre-
sentative jury, the new law also
would make it more difficult to
get excused from jury service for
reasons other than true hardship,
and provides for a fine of up to
$500 or required community
service for those who ignore a
juror summons.
"Oklahoma's new jury law
will make jury service easier
for all Oklahomans and protect
the right to representative jury,'
said Kristin Armshaw, Director
of the ALEC's Civil Justice Task
Force, which developed the
model legislation. Oklahoma
jurors will benefit from the new
law when it takes effect on July
1, 2004. Additional compensa-
tion for jurors on lengthy trials
will become available on Janu-
ary 1, 2005.
