The legislation would establish rules to prevent jurors from acting outside their authority or ignoring judges' instructions during trials. It aims to protect the fairness of the legal system by ensuring jurors follow the law as explained to them, rather than making decisions based on personal beliefs about whether laws are just. This would affect anyone involved in court cases—defendants, plaintiffs, and the general public who serve on juries.
