This bill aims to prevent discrimination in jury selection within the District of Columbia by prohibiting the exclusion of individuals based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. It achieves this by amending specific sections of the District of Columbia Official Code related to juror qualifications and remedies. The legislation explicitly expands the definition of the term "sex" to include sexual orientation , encompassing homosexuality, heterosexuality, or bisexuality, and gender identity . Furthermore, this broadened definition also covers sex stereotypes, pregnancy, childbirth, related medical conditions, and sex characteristics, including intersex traits. By clarifying and expanding these protections, the bill ensures a more inclusive and non-discriminatory process for selecting jurors in the District of Columbia.
