A 6700 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Exempts senior citizens aged 72 and older from jury duty

This bill exempts senior citizens aged 72 and older from jury duty if they provide a doctor's note documenting physical health or mobility issues. To claim exemption, individuals must submit a court-prescribed form with their physician's certification to the jury commissioner. Once approved, the exemption remains in effect until the person formally requests reinstatement through the court's specified process. The bill does not alter jury duty eligibility for those under 72 or without documented health concerns.
