New Jersey S4303 allows physician assistants and advanced practice nurses to verify excusal from jury service due to medical inability.
New Jersey S4303 expands who can verify excusal from jury service due to medical inability. Currently, only licensed physicians can verify such excusals. This bill permits physician assistants and advanced practice nurses to do so if they are licensed or certified under Title 45 of the Revised Statutes. The bill also outlines specific conditions under which a juror may be excused, including severe financial hardship and essential caregiving responsibilities. The changes would take effect immediately and apply to jurors summoned on or after the effective date.
