Disability and Age in Jury Service Nondiscrimination Act

S 1086, the Disability and Age in Jury Service Nondiscrimination Act, prohibits federal courts from excluding potential jurors based on disability or age. The bill amends federal jury law to ensure individuals with disabilities or older adults are not disqualified if they can serve with reasonable accommodations, such as accessible facilities or modified procedures. It specifically adds "disability, age" to existing protections against exclusion and requires courts to consider accommodations for jurors with infirmities. This change directly affects prospective federal jurors with disabilities or age-related needs who were previously excluded under broad "infirmity" rules. The bill applies only to federal jury service, not state courts.
