Permits physician assistant or advanced practice nurse to verify excusal from jury service due to medical inability to serve.

This bill amends New Jersey law to allow physician assistants and advanced practice nurses, in addition to licensed physicians, to verify if a prospective juror has a medical condition preventing them from serving. The change directly affects individuals seeking jury excusal due to health issues and the medical professionals who provide the necessary documentation for such requests. Currently, only licensed physicians can confirm a medical inability to serve, but this legislation expands that authority to include other qualified healthcare providers licensed under Title 45 of the Revised Statutes. The bill takes effect immediately and applies to all jurors summoned on or after that date.
