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 individuals who are seventy (70) years of age or older, meaning they will no longer be required to serve on a jury unless they choose to do so. This change is being made to Chapter 9-9, titled "Jury Lists," and the bill will become law immediately upon its approval.
