(b) The commissioner may mail to each prospective juror the juror
qualification questionnaire. The person to whom the questionnaire is
mailed shall complete and sign it and return it to the commissioner
within ten days of mailing. If the questionnaire has not been returned
or properly completed, or if the commissioner otherwise determines that
a personal interview is required, the commissioner may summon the
prospective juror to appear before him or her for the purpose of filling
out the questionnaire or being examined as to his or her competence,
qualifications, eligibility and liability to serve as a juror. Such
person shall not be entitled to any fee or mileage when responding for
such purpose. The summons may be served personally or by leaving it at
the person's residence or place of business with a person of suitable
age and discretion, or by mail. If served personally or by substitution
the summons shall require the person summoned to attend not less than
five days after service. If served by mail the summons shall require the
person summoned to attend not less than eight days after mailing.
