SB 5064 - DIGEST

Provides that, unless the public need for juries in the court outweighs the individual circumstances of the person summoned, a judge of the court or clerk of the court will excuse a person from acting as a juror upon the request of that person if the person is the sole caregiver for a child or other dependent during the court's normal hours of operation, the person is unable to afford day care or make other arrangements for the care of the dependent, and the person personally attends to the dependent during the court's normal hours of operation.
