Disability and Age in Jury Service Nondiscrimination Act
This bill prohibits federal courts from excluding potential jurors from service due to disability or age. It amends jury service laws to remove disability and age as disqualifying factors, requiring courts to provide reasonable accommodations so individuals with disabilities can serve if otherwise qualified. The law directly affects people with disabilities and older adults who may have been previously disqualified from federal jury duty without considering accommodations. Key provisions mandate that courts must assess whether a disability can be reasonably accommodated before disqualifying someone, ensuring equal access to jury service under federal law.
