An Act establishing a jury duty exemption for breastfeeding parents
This bill (HD 1200) exempts breastfeeding parents from serving on a jury if they indicate this preference on their juror summons response. It directly affects parents who are breastfeeding their child and receive a jury summons. The key provision adds a new option to the standard juror summons form, allowing eligible parents to elect not to serve by marking "election not to perform juror service" on their response. This change modifies the existing juror summons process to accommodate breastfeeding parents' needs without requiring additional court action.
