Could go either way
The bill has support from both parties, which improves its chances, but it must still navigate a divided Congress and clear the committee process.
Key Points
This bill would change federal law to make sure people cannot be kept off a federal jury because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Currently, federal law protects people from being excluded from jury service based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or how much money they have. This bill adds two new protected categories to that list.
The goal is to ensure that federal juries represent the whole community and that all capable citizens have an equal chance to perform their civic duty.
If passed, these new rules would apply to all federal court cases across the country, including both criminal and civil trials.
