A 103 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Creates new excuse from jury service; directs AOC to create and maintain list of persons excused from jury duty due to developmental disability.

This bill creates a new exemption from jury service for individuals with qualifying developmental disabilities. It requires the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) to develop and maintain a list of eligible people, define "developmental disability" (including conditions like autism or cerebral palsy that manifest before age 22 and cause significant life activity limitations), and create an online application form. To qualify, applicants must submit medical verification of their disability and other required information for AOC review. People approved for this exemption will be indefinitely excused from jury duty summons.
