Code.
In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the clause "whom the county

provided by the plan".

EACH JURY PLAN SHALL DESIGNATE A JURY COMMISSIONER.
(B) CHOICES.
THE JURY COMMISSIONER FOR A CIRCUIT COURT SHALL BE:
(1) THE CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT; OR
(2) ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL DESIGNATED IN THE MANNER SET FORTH IN
THE JURY PLAN.
(C) ACTING JURY COMMISSIONER
A JURY PLAN MAY DESIGNATE, OR ALLOW A JURY JUDGE TO DESIGNATE, AN
INDIVIDUAL TO SERVE AS ACTING JURY COMMISSIONER IF THE JURY
COMMISSIONER IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE OR UNABLE TO PERFORM DUTIES.
(D) DUTIES.
THE JURY COMMISSIONER FOR A CIRCUIT COURT SHALL MANAGE JURY

(E) COMPENSATION.
A JURY COMMISSIONER, OTHER THAN A CLERK, IS ENTITLED TO THE
COMPENSATION SET BY LAW.
COMMITTEE NOTE: Subsections (a), (b), (d), and (e) of this section are new
language derived from the introductory language of former CJ § 8-202 and
the first and second sentences and first clause of the third sentence of (1)
and revised to provide for designation of a jury commissioner, to clarify
that a designated clerk is acting as a jury commissioner.
Subsection (c) of this section is new and added to provide a means of
ensuring the carrying out of duties in the absence or inability of a jury
commissioner.
In subsection (d) of this section, reference to management of "jury selection
and service" is substituted for the former reference to managing "the jury
selection process", to reflect that the duties are broader.
