(a) (1) When the board of jury commissioners meets to make out a new jury list, the names then remaining in the jury box shall first be removed, but the names so removed shall not be disqualified to be put on the new list, and may be put on the jury list in the discretion of the jury commissioners.
(2) When a new jury list is to be made, the board shall, if practicable, not put on the list the names of those on the preceding list who have served during the preceding two (2) years as regular jurors; but this shall not be mandatory, and it is left to the discretion or judgment of the commissioners.
(3) If, within the two (2) years, the number of names remaining in the jury box shall have been reduced until there are less than one fourth (¼) of the number of names on the list in the jury book, then the judge of the circuit court or of the criminal court in that county, if the judge deems proper by an order made, either at chambers or in open court, may require the board to renew the list and box with a sufficient number of names as will likely be used during the remaining portion of the two (2) years for which the original list has been made.
(b) (1) In counties having a population of over six hundred thousand (600,000), according to the 1970 federal census or any subsequent federal census, when the board of jury commissioners meets to make out a new jury list, the names then remaining in the jury box shall first be removed, but the names so removed shall not be disqualified to be put on the new list, and may be put on the list in the discretion of the jury commissioners.
(2) When a new jury list is to be made, the board shall not place on the list the name of any person who has served ten (10) or more days during the preceding two (2) years in actual service upon a jury and such person shall be disqualified to serve as a juror for a period of ten (10) years.
(3) If, within the two (2) years, the number of names remaining in the jury box shall have been reduced until there are less than one fourth (¼) of the number of names on the list in the jury book, then a judge of the circuit court or of the criminal court in the county, if the judge deems proper by an order made, either at chambers or in open court, may require the board to renew the list and box with a sufficient number of names as will likely be used during the remaining portion of the two (2) years for which the original list has been made.
