AB 223: Jury selection: acknowledgment and agreement.

This bill aims to amend the code of civil procedure to improve the jury selection process. The trial judge will no longer examine the prospective jurors in jury trials, and instead, each party will have the opportunity to examine them after this initial step. The bill requires prospective jurors to sign an acknowledgment and agreement prior to their examination, stating that they are truthful and willing to serve. Additionally, the bill requires a new acknowledgment and agreement from the selected jurors after they have been chosen for the trial.
