Subsection (c) of this section is new language derived without substantive
change from the introductory language of former CJ § 8-202 and the first
and second sentences of (2)(i).
In the introductory language of subsection (b)(1) of this section, the word
"adults" is substituted for the former references to an individual "at least
18 years old", for brevity. As to "adult", see Art. 1, § 24 of the Code.
In subsection (b)(1)(i) of this section, the words "no older than" are added to
allow use of a list generated more recently than the last general election,
since, in practice, data are transferred electronically from time to time. See
revised EL § 3-507.
In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the former reference to a "clerk" is
deleted as unnecessary in light of the newly defined term "jury
commissioner".
In subsection (c)(2) of this section, reference to "requirements of this title"
is substituted for the former phrase "as necessary to carry out the policy of
[former CJ] §§ 8-102 and 8-103" and the former reference to "random
selection of a fair cross section of the citizens of the State", for consistency
with revised CJ § 8-201.
As to "county" and "include", see Art. 1, §§ 14 and 30 of the Code,
respectively.
The third sentence and, except for the reference to lists, the first sentence
of former CJ § 8-202(2)(i), which required use of either "a properly
programmed electronic data processing system or device" or "a master jury
wheel or a device similar in purpose and function", are deleted as obsolete.
Defined terms: "Jury commissioner" § 8-101
"Jury plan" § 8-101
"Prospective juror" § 8-101
"Source pool" § 8-101
8-207. REQUIRED PROVISIONS - PROSPECTIVE AND QUALIFIED JUROR POOLS.
