Excuses person 70 years of age or older from jury service.

This bill lowers the age threshold for automatic jury service exemption in New Jersey from 75 to 70 years old. It directly affects residents aged 70 or older who would now qualify for an automatic excuse from jury duty, replacing the previous requirement of being 75 or older. The bill amends statute N.J.S.2B:20-10 to update this age requirement while maintaining existing exemption categories like recent service, severe hardship, or volunteer emergency roles. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment. The bill is currently pending referral to the Assembly Aging and Human Services Committee.
