Enrolled Bill Summary

            House Bill 82 amends provisions of the Government Code relating to the source, selection, and service of petit jurors. The act changes the information that is required to appear on the list of names provided to the secretary of state and to the county commissioners court by the Texas Department of Public Safety for the purposes of reconstituting the jury wheel. It provides an exemption to jury service for persons who were previously summoned for service in a county with a population of 250,000 or more by requiring that the name of the person be removed from the jury wheel until the third anniversary of the date the person appeared for service or until the next date the jury wheel is reconstituted, whichever date occurs earlier. House Bill 82 also amends the Transportation Code to require an applicant for an original, renewal, or duplicate driver's license to provide the person's citizenship status and county of residence, in addition to other information.
