HB 547 -- Jury Service

Co-Sponsors:  Merideth, Walker, Carnahan, Bringer

Under current law, a person is disqualified from serving as a
juror if that person is unable to read, speak, and understand
English.  This bill establishes an exception to that
disqualification when the person's disability is due to a vision
or hearing impairment which can be adequately compensated for
through the use of auxiliary aids or services.
