The bill amends Section 9-9-3 of the General Laws in Chapter 9-9, titled "Jury Lists," to include new provisions regarding exemptions from jury service. Specifically, it adds that any person who is seventy (70) years of age or older is eligible for exemption from serving as a juror. This change expands the list of individuals who are exempt from jury duty, which already includes members of Congress, state general officers, members of the general assembly, judicial officers, law enforcement personnel, and active-duty armed services members. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage.
