What it does

The Disability and Age in Jury Service Nondiscrimination Act would amend federal law to prohibit excluding individuals from federal jury service based on disability or age. It updates Section 1862 of Title 28 to explicitly ban discrimination on these grounds and revises Section 1865 to replace outdated language about "infirmity" with a standard requiring reasonable accommodation for disabilities. The bill ensures that no person can be disqualified from serving on grand or petit juries due to disability if they could serve with reasonable accommodation.
