Summary

The law amends Indiana’s jury‑qualification statutes to let new mothers who are currently breastfeeding opt out of jury duty. It applies to any female prospective juror who gave birth in the past 365 days, is breastfeeding, and requests the exemption. The change aims to reduce hardship for postpartum women while preserving the overall jury pool.
