Bill Summary

This act would make those persons seventy (70) years of age or older exempt 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 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.
