A 4955 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Creates excuse from jury service for students enrolled in certain education programs.

This bill creates an exemption from jury duty for New Jersey residents who are temporarily living outside the state to attend certain educational programs. It directly affects students enrolled in out-of-state secondary, post-secondary, vocational, graduate, or professional education programs who provide acceptable proof of their enrollment and temporary out-of-state residency. The exemption requires students to submit documentation verified by the New Jersey Administrative Office of the Courts, similar to other existing jury duty excuses. This change modifies existing jury service rules to specifically accommodate students pursuing education outside New Jersey.
