Bill > SB107

This bill expands exemptions from jury service to include individuals who are responsible for the care of someone with a serious health condition. Specifically, it allows a person with legal custody of a child under 18 years old who has a serious health condition, meaning an illness, injury, or physical or mental impairment, to be exempt from jury duty upon request. Additionally, the bill creates a new exemption for a "familial caretaker," defined as a family or household member, close family friend, or other adult with a close personal relationship who provides full-time care to a person with a serious health condition, also allowing them to be exempt from jury service upon request.
