Bills supporting new mothers and domestic violence victims sent to the governor
Rep. Amesty
A bill that would excuse new mothers from jury service has been forwarded to Gov. Ron DeSantis.
HB 461 by Rep. Carolina Amesty, R-Orlando, would require a court to grant an excuse, upon request, to any women who has given birth up to six months before the reporting date on the summons. Republican Sen. Erin Grall, a Ft. Pierce attorney, sponsored the companion, SB 462.
