Exempts senior citizens from jury duty
This bill exempts individuals aged 75 or older from jury duty upon their written request. It requires the court to provide a form for seniors to submit, after which they are automatically excused from service unless they later request to be reinstated. The exemption remains in effect until the person formally asks to be considered for jury duty again. This change directly affects New York residents who are 75 years or older and wish to avoid jury service.
