Bill > HB1022

This bill, effective January 1, 2027, allows individuals who are 72 years or older, as of the date their jury summons begins, to choose to temporarily or permanently opt out of jury service. A judge or jury commissioner, who is the court official responsible for managing jury selection, can request documentation to verify the person's age for either a temporary or permanent opt-out, and any provided age verification will not be made public. Individuals seeking to opt out must take the necessary steps to get their request approved before their scheduled jury service begins, and those who temporarily opt out will be eligible for jury service again once their temporary exemption ends, as determined by the court.
