Bill > HR2442

This bill amends Title 28 of the United States Code to prohibit the exclusion of individuals from serving on federal juries on account of their disability or age. Specifically, it adds "disability, age" to the list of protected characteristics under Section 1862, which prohibits discrimination in jury selection. It also modifies Section 1865, which outlines the qualifications for jury service, to state that a person cannot be disqualified due to a disability if they can be reasonably accommodated to meet the qualifications. The purpose of the bill is to ensure individuals with disabilities or of advanced age are not unfairly excluded from participating in the federal jury system.
