Summary
The measure changes the jury‑service rules so a judge can excuse a juror who shows undue hardship, extreme inconvenience, or a public need, and can also postpone service for up to two years. It adds automatic exemptions for breastfeeding mothers and for teachers when the state faces a teacher shortage. The goal is to reduce unnecessary burdens on citizens while keeping courts staffed.
