conflict with the provisions of the law as to selecting by lot from the
grand jury six members to serve for the ensuing year.
Nothing contained in this article prohibits a person whose name
has been properly drawn and who desires to serve as a juror from
serving more frequently than once every three calendar years, except
that no person shall serve as a juror more than once every
year."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
