Relating to juries.
HB 2779 prevents current Oregon Legislative Assembly members from serving on juries. The bill amends Oregon's jury eligibility law (ORS 10.030) to explicitly exclude active state legislators from jury service, adding them to the list of disqualifications alongside factors like felony convictions or non-citizenship. This change directly affects sitting state lawmakers who would otherwise be eligible for jury duty under existing rules. The provision applies to both civil and criminal trials, ensuring legislators cannot serve while holding office.
