Code of Civil Procedures

Source Lists of Jurors

204.7.  (a) Source lists of jurors shall identify persons who reside in the county, and who are 18 years of age or older, shall include those who are registered voters, and to the extent that systems for producing jury lists can be practically modified, without significant cost, shall also include those whose names appear on a list of licensed drivers or identification cardholders provided by the Department of Motor Vehicles pursuant to subdivision (b). Qualified jury lists and master jury lists derived from the source lists shall be prepared so as to reasonably minimize duplication of names.

(b) Upon written request by the jury commissioner of a county, the Director of Motor Vehicles shall furnish the current source list of the names and addresses of persons residing in the county who are age 18 years or older and are holders of a current driver's license or identification card issued pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 12800) and Article 5 (commencing with Section 13000) of Chapter 1 of Division 6 of the Vehicle Code. The conditions under which such lists shall be compiled semiannually shall be determined by the director. This service shall be provided by the Department of Motor Vehicles pursuant to Section 1812 of the Vehicle Code. The jury commissioner shall not disclose the information furnished by the Department of Motor Vehicles pursuant to this section to any person, organization, or agency for any use other than the selection of trial jurors.

(Amended Ch. 425, Stats. 1983. Effective January 1, 1984.)
