Ending Jury Discrimination: Disability and Age Inclusion in Federal Courts.
This bill prohibits excluding citizens from serving on federal juries solely based on their age or disability. The change ensures that individuals with disabilities have an equal right to participate in the judicial process as jurors, provided their needs can be met through reasonable accommodations. This expands civic rights and makes juries more representative of the population.
Key points
Discrimination Ban: Citizens can no longer be excluded from federal jury service based solely on age or disability.
Reasonable Accommodation: Individuals with disabilities must be allowed to serve if their condition permits participation with reasonable accommodations (e.g., accessibility, assistance).
