Bill overview
The Juror Non-Discrimination Act of 2019 aims to ensure fair jury selection by preventing the exclusion of individuals from serving on federal juries based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. This legislation amends existing law to explicitly include these factors as protected characteristics, promoting equal access to civic duty. It seeks to eliminate discriminatory practices that have historically impacted potential jurors’ ability to participate in the justice system. The bill ensures that all qualified individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, have an opportunity to serve on a jury.
