mechanical or electronic means.
A.  In lieu of any other procedure now provided by law, the
judge in charge of court administration in the county may, by order,
adopt a plan for the selection of qualified jurors for jury service
with the aid of mechanical or electronic means and implement such
plan upon its approval by the Supreme Court.
B.  Any such plan so adopted shall conform to the following
requirements:
1.  A complete plan shall be proposed in writing and submitted
for approval by the Supreme Court.

2.  It shall provide a fair, impartial and objective method of
selecting persons for jury service with the aid of mechanical or
electronic equipment.
3.  It shall designate the court clerk as the official to be in
charge of the selection process and shall define the duties of the
court clerk.
4.  It shall specify that a true and complete written list
showing the names and addresses of the persons summoned to begin
jury service on a particular date shall be filed of record with the
court clerk at least ten (10) days prior to the date such persons
are to begin jury service.
C.  In any county where such a plan is adopted, as provided in
this section, the laws relating to the selection of petit jurors by
use of a jury wheel shall not apply.  In such counties, a municipal
court, at the option of the municipal judge, may select jurors in
the same manner as provided for by the plan.  The municipal court
clerk shall be designated to fulfill the duties provided in the plan
for the district court clerk.
