When a prospective juror files a permanent exemption with the municipal court clerk, what is the clerk required to do?

• A. Deliver a copy of the permanent exemption to the county voter registrar
• B. Notify the county clerk
• C. File in the court file
• D. Deliver a copy to the clerk's supervisor

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the court must coordinate with the agency that maintains the official juror lists. When a prospective juror has a permanent exemption, the clerk delivers a copy of that exemption to the county voter registrar. The county voter registrar uses that information to update the jury pool and remove the person from future jury summons. Keeping the exemption only in the court file doesn’t update the statewide jury rolls, and sending it to a supervisor or merely to another county office doesn’t fulfill the requirement to adjust eligibility lists. This flow ensures accurate, efficient jury management across the system.
