Disability and Age in Jury Service Nondiscrimination Act

This bill seeks to prevent discrimination in Federal jury selection by prohibiting the exclusion of individuals based on disability or age . It amends section 1862 of title 28, United States Code, to explicitly include these characteristics among those protected from discrimination in jury service. Furthermore, the legislation revises the qualifications for jury service under section 1865 of title 28. It replaces the term "infirmity" with "disability that cannot be reasonably accommodated," clarifying that a disability alone is not a disqualifier. The bill mandates that individuals with disabilities cannot be disqualified from grand and petit juries if they would otherwise be qualified with reasonable accommodation , thereby promoting greater accessibility and participation in the justice system.
