The right to serve on a jury is a cornerstone of American democracy, yet millions of citizens are excluded from federal jury service simply because of their age or disability. The Disability and Age in Jury Service Nondiscrimination Act (H.R. 5096) seeks to close this gap by prohibiting discrimination in federal jury selection based on these factors. With bipartisan support and endorsements from dozens of disability and legal advocacy organizations, this legislation affirms that all qualified individuals—regardless of age or ability—deserve the opportunity to participate fully in our justice system.
