District of Columbia Local Juror Non-Discrimination Act of 2025
This bill prohibits the District of Columbia from excluding potential jurors based on sexual orientation or gender identity. It amends DC law to expand the definition of "sex" to include sexual orientation (homosexuality, heterosexuality, bisexuality), gender identity, sex stereotypes, pregnancy, childbirth, and sex characteristics like intersex traits. The law directly affects DC residents who may serve on juries by ensuring they cannot be excluded due to these protected characteristics. The key mechanism is updating two sections of the DC Official Code (11-1903 and 11-1910) to include these definitions in anti-discrimination protections for jury selection.
