New Jersey A5098 allows physician assistants or advanced practice nurses to verify excusal from jury service due to medical inability to serve.
New Jersey A5098 amends the state's jury service law to permit a physician assistant or advanced practice nurse to verify a prospective juror's excusal from jury service due to a medical inability to serve. This change expands the current law, which only allows a licensed physician to provide such verification. The bill specifies that the physician assistant or advanced practice nurse must be licensed or certified under Title 45 of the Revised Statutes. The bill would take effect immediately and apply to jurors summoned on or after the effective date.
