COLUMBUS, Ohio — Gov. Mike DeWine has signed House Bill 34, which excuses breat-feeding mothers from jury service, into law.
The bill was sponsored by State Rep. Roy Klopfenstein, R-Haviland, and Angela King, R-Celina.
“A signed affidavit that a prospective juror…provides to the judge and states that the prospective juror is a mother who is breast-feeding her baby is satisfactory documentation to support the prospective juror’s request to be excused based on undue or extreme physical or financial hardship,” the bill reads.
