An Act amending Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in juries and jurors, further providing for exemptions from jury duty.

HB 128 adds an explicit exemption for emergency service personnel (such as firefighters and EMTs) from jury duty in Pennsylvania's judicial code. The bill amends Section 4503(a)(9) of Title 42 to allow these workers to request excusal from jury service. This change directly affects emergency service personnel who seek to avoid jury duty due to job responsibilities. The exemption requires personnel to formally request excusal but does not automatically exempt them. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
