What’s in it
AI summary Completed juror questionnaires will now be treated as private records instead of public ones. People cannot see these forms unless a court or an authorized official gives permission. If a questionnaire is released to the public, the court clerk must black out any private information first.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to confidential records protected by Code chapter (public records) and juror questionnaires. Under current law, a completed juror questionnaire is not protected unless the court orders the sealing or partial sealing of a completed juror questionnaire. The bill makes a completed juror questionnaire a confidential record and it can only be released by an order from the court, a lawful custodian of the records, or by another person duly authorized to release such information. The bill provides any confidential information contained within the juror questionnaire shall be redacted by the clerk prior to being released to the public when a public record request has been received.
