SJR 110 - Under current law, in every criminal case a defendant may, with the assent of the court, waive a trial by jury. This proposed constitutional amendment, if approved by the voters, adds that a defendant may waive a trial by jury if he or she receives assent by both the government and the court.

This act is identical to SJR 15 (2025), SJR 67 (2024), SJR 24 (2023), SJR 44 (2022), and SJR 22 (2021).
TRISTAN BENSON, JR.
