This bill clarifies that a person is considered to have served as a juror if they were summoned and appeared for trial, rather than only if they actually participated in a verdict. The change ensures that people who have recently served on juries—even if they didn't complete a full trial—are removed from the jury pool for two years before becoming eligible again.
