Bill Summary

Exemption from jury service; fire marshals. Adds the State Fire Marshal and any officer appointed as a fire marshal to the list of persons automatically exempt from jury service.

AI Summary

This bill amends a Virginia law that lists who is exempt from serving on juries. Specifically, it adds the State Fire Marshal, as defined by a specific section of law, and any officer appointed as a fire marshal under a chapter related to fire protection, to the existing list of individuals automatically excused from jury duty. This means that these fire officials will no longer be required to serve on juries in civil or criminal cases, similar to other professions and officials already granted this exemption.
