HB 22-1032

House Bill 22-1032, which has been signed into law, allows Colorado residents who are students at out-of-state colleges or universities to postpone their jury duty for up to one year. This means that these students won't have to serve on a jury immediately if they're studying elsewhere and would face difficulties in fulfilling this civic duty due to distance or scheduling conflicts. The bill is now law, so it will affect eligible Colorado residents who are currently out-of-state college students when they receive a summons for jury duty.

Official Summary

The act allows a Colorado resident who is a student enrolled in an institution of higher education outside the state of Colorado the right to postpone jury duty for not more than 12 months. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
