SB 1189 proposes to exempt certain firefighters and police officers from jury service. The bill amends the Government Code to add full-time, paid firefighters and police officers, including fire chiefs and police chiefs, to the list of individuals eligible for exemption from jury duty. This exemption aligns with other existing exemptions, such as for military personnel on active duty, students, and caregivers. The bill applies only to jury summonses issued on or after its effective date.
