HB 600 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Changes the age when a person may be excused from serving on a petit and grand jury

HB 600 lowers the age at which individuals may be excused from serving on a petit or grand jury from 75 to 70 years old. This directly affects residents aged 70 or older, who can now be excused without needing to demonstrate hardship, unlike the previous requirement. The bill maintains existing excusal categories (such as for nursing mothers, health care providers, or those facing undue hardship) but specifically updates the age threshold in section (7). It does not alter other provisions or requirements for jury service.
