SB 2054 North Dakota Senate · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 27-09.1-05 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the master jury list; and to provide a contingent effective date.

SB 2054 aimed to amend North Dakota's master jury list maintenance rules under Section 27-09.1-05 of the Century Code, specifying how the state updates and manages the official list of eligible jurors. The bill proposed changes to the process for compiling this list but included a contingent effective date (meaning it would only take effect if certain conditions were met). The bill failed to pass the legislature on March 10, 2025, with 25 votes in favor and 67 against, so no changes to jury list procedures were implemented.
