Clarifies excuse from jury service for military members and repeals outdated statute.

This bill amends New Jersey law to clarify the conditions under which members of the military or reserve can be excused from jury service. It establishes procedures for excusing military personnel if they are unavailable due to deployment or duty assignment. The bill also repeals the existing statute, N.J.S.38A:4-6, which previously provided an excuse for military service but lacked verification mechanisms. The new provisions aim to ensure that military personnel can be excused from jury duty when necessary, while maintaining the integrity of the judicial process.
