Bill Summary
This act would make persons seventy (70) years of age or older eligible for exemption from jury service. This act would take effect upon passage.
AI Summary
This bill amends Rhode Island General Laws Section 9-9-3, which outlines who is exempt from jury service, by adding a new exemption for any person seventy (70) years of age or older, meaning individuals who have reached their 70th birthday will no longer be required to serve on a jury unless they choose to do so. This change, which will take effect immediately upon being passed into law, expands the existing list of exemptions that already includes various government officials, legal professionals, law enforcement, and military personnel on active duty.
