The bill amends Section 9-9-3 of the General Laws in Chapter 9-9, titled "Jury Lists," to include new exemptions from jury service. Specifically, it adds that any person who is seventy (70) years of age or older is exempt from serving as a juror unless they choose to waive this exemption. This addition is made alongside existing exemptions for various public officials and law enforcement personnel, including members of Congress, state general officers, and active-duty armed services members.

Additionally, the bill removes the conjunction "and" before the mention of active-duty armed services members, streamlining the list of exempt individuals. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage, thereby allowing for the new age exemption to be implemented without delay.
