Exempts judges and justices from jury duty.
This bill exempts New Jersey judges and justices from jury duty by adding them to the list of automatically excused jurors under state law. It specifically covers all state court judges (Supreme Court, Superior Court, Tax Court, municipal courts, Office of Administrative Law, and Workers' Compensation Division) as well as federal judges serving in New Jersey. The exemption applies to all prospective jurors summoned for jury service after the law takes effect, removing them from the standard jury duty obligation. This is a procedural change that directly affects judicial officers, not general citizens.
