Bill overview
This bill, the Breastfeeding Mothers Jury Duty Exclusion Act of 2022, aims to protect the rights of breastfeeding women to serve on juries. It amends federal and District of Columbia law to allow breastfeeding women to request an exemption from jury duty. If a court or clerk deems it appropriate, the woman will be excused from service. This ensures that breastfeeding mothers are not unfairly penalized for their childcare responsibilities.
