This bill amends N.J.S.2B:20-10 to create an additional excuse from jury service for students who are temporarily residing outside of New Jersey while enrolled in certain educational programs. Specifically, it allows individuals who are 18 years of age or older and attending secondary, post-secondary, vocational, graduate, or professional education programs out of state to be excused from jury duty. To qualify for this exemption, students must provide acceptable proof of their temporary residency outside of New Jersey, as determined by the New Jersey Administrative Office of the Courts.

In addition to this new provision, the bill also modifies existing language regarding other categories of individuals who may be excused from jury service. Notably, it removes the phrase "or" from the list of exemptions and adds a new category for volunteer members of first aid or rescue squads. This legislative change aims to accommodate the needs of students pursuing education outside the state while maintaining the integrity of the jury service system. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
