HB 1725 -- Jury Service

Sponsor:  Villa

Currently, upon timely application to the court, health care
providers are excused from jury service.  This bill removes the
provision and allows the court at its discretion to excuse a
health care provider if he or she makes timely application to the
court and provides a written statement certifying that he or she
is providing critical health care services to patients and that
serving on a jury would be detrimental to the health of the
patients.
