What this bill would do

H.R. 5096, known as the "Disability and Age in Jury Service Nondiscrimination Act," aims to stop people from being kept off Federal juries because of their disability or age. It changes the law to prohibit discrimination based on these factors. The bill also ensures that people cannot be disqualified from jury service if a reasonable accommodation would make them qualified.
