HB 3206 modifies rules governing jury sequestration in criminal cases. It grants courts discretion in determining whether juries should be kept together after receiving instructions and requires a hearing upon request by either party to establish whether good cause exists to prevent jury separation. The bill also mandates facilities for male and female jurors when overnight sequestration is required​.
