The Arc of Northern Virginia and REV UP Virginia support this bill. We have talked to people who wanted to serve on a jury but were not given basic accommodations, and feel this bill would remedy that issue and bring us in line with the long standing Americans with Disabilities Act (1990).

On behalf of the Virginia Young Democrats Disability Caucus, we'd like to express our full support and endorsement for HB 671. This bill would prohibit the exclusion of individuals with disabilities from jury service on the basis of disability, and would require that any determination of competency be made only after reasonable accommodations have been provided.
