HB 1745 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Changes the age when a person may be excused from serving on a petit and grand jury

This bill updates the criteria for excusing individuals from jury duty in state courts, specifically raising the age threshold for automatic exemption from 75 to 70 years old. It also expands exemptions to include nursing mothers with physician certification, health care providers who risk patient safety, and religious employees with documented constraints. The legislation clarifies that requests for excusal based on physical or financial hardship require specific documentation, such as tax returns or medical statements, and defines what constitutes undue hardship to prevent abuse of the system.
