The state Senate passed a bill Tuesday that will allow convicted felons to serve on juries.
Felons who have completed their full sentencing, parole or supervision periods will be welcomed onto the juror’s bench. There is currently a lifetime ban on felons serving as as jurors..
“When people go through that system, they should be allowed to reenter society,” state Senator Jamaal Bailey (D-Bronx) said during the debate on the bill, which passed 36-25.
