Exempts police from jury duty.
This bill (S 99) exempts full-time state, county, and municipal police officers, as well as Class Two special law enforcement officers, from jury duty requirements. It directly affects sworn law enforcement personnel by adding them to the list of statutorily exempt groups under New Jersey's jury service law (N.J.S.2B:20-10). The key mechanism is amending the existing statute to include police officers under exemption category (f), which currently covers groups like volunteer firefighters, first responders, and teachers under specific conditions. Currently, police officers are not exempt under state law, though they were previously exempt before 1995.
