This bill would allow people aged 70 and older in Washington, D.C. to choose not to serve on juries in the District of Columbia Superior Court. Currently, D.C. law provides certain exemptions from jury duty, and this legislation adds age as a new basis for opting out. The change would apply automatically to anyone 70 or older who is summoned for jury service in the Superior Court. The bill does not specify any funding requirements or implementation timeline beyond the legislative change itself. This measure would make it easier for seniors to avoid jury service by simply requesting an exemption based on their age.
