Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
705 ILCS 310/10
(705 ILCS 310/10) (from Ch. 78, par. 33)
Sec. 10.
When any elector drawn and summoned as a petit juror or as a grand
juror shall appear in obedience to summons, any judge of the court in which
he has thus appeared, if satisfied that, on account of the nature of the
elector's occupation, business affairs, physical health,
family situation, active duty in military service, or other personal
affairs, service at another time
will subject him to less inconvenience, shall have discretion to excuse him
temporarily from service as juror or grand juror and require him to appear
at a subsequent day not later than one year from the time of such excuse.
And if any elector so excused shall fail to appear for service at the later
day thus designated, his attendance shall be enforced in the same manner as
is now provided by law for the case of his failure to appear in obedience
to summons. When any elector has been so temporarily excused, the fact of
such excuse and the day at which he is to appear for service shall be
certified by the clerk of the court to the jury commissioners or the jury
administrator.
The jury
commissioners or the jury administrator
shall thereupon place the name of such elector upon the
appropriate period jury list, if period jury lists have been provided for
by the said rules, and, in any case, shall, at least ten days before the
day at which he is required to appear for service, send him by mail a
notice reminding him of his duty to appear. Failure to send such notice,
however, shall not affect the duty of the elector to appear as required at
the time of his temporary excuse. The number of petit jurors to be drawn by
the clerk of any of the said courts for any given month, as provided in
Section 9 of this act, shall be reduced by the number of petit jurors on
the period jury list under duty to appear in that court at that month. A
like reduction shall be made in the number of persons to be drawn as grand
jurors as provided in Section 9 of this Act.
