Clarifies excuse from jury service for military members under certain circumstances; repeals N.J.S.38A:4-6.

This bill amends New Jersey law to clarify the excuse from jury service for members of the military or reserve under certain circumstances. It specifies that an officer or enlisted member of the organized militia, the United States Armed Forces, or a reserve component may be excused from jury service if they submit a certification of unavailability due to a military deployment or duty assignment. The bill also repeals N.J.S.38A:4-6, which previously provided an excuse from jury service for members of the military.
