S 2476 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Disability and Age in Jury Service Nondiscrimination Act

This bill prohibits federal courts from excluding potential jurors based on disability or age. It amends jury selection rules to replace the term "infirmity" with "disability that cannot be reasonably accommodated" and explicitly states that people cannot be disqualified from serving on federal juries due to disability if reasonable accommodations would allow them to serve. The law requires courts to consider reasonable accommodations for qualified jurors with disabilities or age-related needs. This directly affects individuals with disabilities and older adults who may have been excluded from federal jury service under previous rules.
