Changes the age when a person may serve on a petit and grand jury

HB 2440 lowers the minimum age for jury service eligibility in Missouri from 21 to 19 years old. The bill directly affects Missouri residents aged 19 to 20 who were previously disqualified from serving on petit or grand juries. It amends Missouri law to replace the existing disqualification for "less than twenty-one years of age" with "less than nineteen years of age" in the list of eligibility requirements. This change specifically modifies the age threshold for jury service without altering other disqualification criteria like citizenship, residency, or felony convictions.
