Jury Duty Opt-Out for Certain People

The bill allows a person who is 70 years of age or older to choose to temporarily or permanently opt out of jury service.

The bill allows a person who is out of the state because they are actively enrolled full-time at an out-of-state institution of higher education or because they are working for an extended period of time out of the state to choose to temporarily opt out of jury service.

The judge or jury commissioner may require documentation in support of the opt-out of jury service.
