H.R. 1537 would allow people age 70 and older in Washington, D.C. to opt out of jury duty in the Superior Court. The bill modifies D.C. law to add age 70 as a criterion that permits individuals to request exemption from jury service. This change would affect senior citizens called for jury duty in D.C.'s local court system. The legislation contains no specific funding requirements or implementation timeline beyond the standard legislative process. The bill was introduced by D.C. Representative Eleanor Norton in February 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
