Overview
This bill clarifies the process for military members and reservists to be excused from jury duty. It repeals an existing law (N.J.S.38A:4-6) that didn't provide a clear way to verify military status for exemptions. The bill amends the law to require a certification from the juror to the jury manager or Assignment Judge confirming their military deployment or duty assignment, allowing for an excuse from service.
