Creates excuse from jury service for students enrolled in certain education programs.
This New Jersey bill (A3593) would allow students temporarily residing outside the state to be excused from jury duty if enrolled in out-of-state secondary, post-secondary, vocational, graduate, or professional education programs. To qualify, students aged 18+ must provide proof of enrollment and out-of-state residency to the court. The bill adds students to existing categories of people who can be excused from jury service, such as those with medical needs or caregiving responsibilities. It does not change the standard jury duty requirements but creates a specific exception for this group.
