Exempts active members of the Hawaii emergency management agency and county emergency management agencies from jury duty. (HB954 HD1)
AI Summary
This bill exempts active members of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency and county emergency management agencies from jury duty. It amends the existing law that exempts certain professionals, such as physicians, members of the armed forces, police, and firefighters, from jury duty, to also include active members of emergency management agencies. The legislature finds that these agencies play critical roles in ensuring public safety during emergencies, and their members should not face hindrances in serving in their essential functions.
