Summary

Juror information confidential. Provides that a court may in a criminal trial, upon the motion of either party or its own motion, and for good cause shown, issue a protective order regulating the disclosure of personal information of a juror to any person other than the counsel for either party. Good cause shown includes, but is not limited to, a likelihood of bribery, tampering, or physical injury to or harassment of a juror. "Personal information" is defined as any information collected by the court, clerk, or jury commissioner including, but not limited to, a juror's name, age, occupation, home and business addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, and any other identifying information that would assist another in locating or contacting the juror. The bill also directs the Supreme Court to prescribe and publish rules that provide for the protection of a juror's personal information.
