Bill > H1416

This bill proposes to amend existing law to create new exemptions from jury duty for certain individuals. Specifically, it would exempt individuals who are the primary caregiver for someone relying on their health care services, provided that performing jury duty would pose a risk of injury to the health of the person receiving care; this exemption applies regardless of whether the caregiver is compensated and requires a letter from a registered physician detailing the recipient's information, the nature of the care, and the physician's opinion on the risk. Additionally, the bill would exempt full-time college students from jury duty during their period of formal education, with the understanding that they would become subject to jury duty once their full-time studies conclude.
