MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                 275

(E) PERSON EXCUSED MAY BE RESUMMONED.

ANY PERSON EXCUSED FROM JURY SERVICE OR FROM A
PARTICULAR JURY UNDER SUBSECTION (A), (B), OR (C) OF
THIS SECTION IS ELIGIBLE TO SIT ON ANOTHER JURY IF THE
BASIS FOR HIS EXCUSE IS NOT RELEVANT TO HIS ABILITY TO
SERVE ON THE OTHER JURY.

(F) DISQUALIFICATION OR EXCUSE NOTED ON
QUALIFICATION FORM.

WHEN A PERSON IS DISQUALIFIED OR EXCUSED FROM JURY
SERVICE, THE JURY COMMISSIONER OR CLERK SHALL NOTE THE
SPECIFIC REASON IN THE SPACE PROVIDED ON HIS JUROR
QUALIFICATION FORM OR ON THE JUROR'S CARD DRAWN FROM
THE QUALIFIED JURY WHEEL.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
subsections (a), (b), and (c) of Art. 51, §9.
Sec. 8—210 has been reorganized to separate
the grounds for excuse from service from
those for excuse from a particular jury- The
word "exclusion" is proposed for deletion
throughout the section, as the grounds for
"exclusion" are, in reality, grounds for
excuse from a particular jury.

The opening sentence has been placed in a
separate subsection to emphasize that these
are the only grounds for excuse from jury
service, and a reference to §8-209 (former
§8), dealing with persons exempt has been.
added to avoid possible inconsistencies.
This is not a substantive change, as those
persons are already exempted.

Clause (iii) was changed to provide that a
person may be peremptorily challenged if
permitted by rule of court, as well as by
law. Much of the material dealing with
peremptory challenges appears in Rules 746
and 543, Maryland Rules of Procedure and does
not appear in the Code.

Subsection (e) is modified to make it   apply

to all excuses. This is broader,     in a

technical sense, than the old language   since
persons now excluded under clauses 1 and 6,

of old subsection (b) are eligible   to be

reconsidered for jury service, if the     basis
for their excuse is no longer relevant.
