AI Summary

  • Automatic stays of court and administrative proceedings apply to General Assembly members from January 1 through June 1 each year, or whenever the legislature is in session, upon filing written notice

  • Expands stay protections to include members subpoenaed as witnesses (changed from "necessary" witnesses) and members ordered to serve as jurors during legislative sessions

  • Stay does not apply to proceedings where the member is charged with a felony or Class A misdemeanor, proceedings under chapter 288, or cases involving injunctive relief

  • Courts may quash subpoenas or set aside jury service orders for good cause shown by any party, eliminating the stay requirement in those instances

  • Removes the requirement that the member's attendance be proven "necessary to a fair and proper trial," replacing it with a simpler written notice procedure
