     3    §  512.  Active volunteer firefighters exempt from jury duty. 1.  Upon
     4  claiming exemption therefrom, a volunteer  firefighter,  as  defined  in
     5  section  three  of  the  volunteer  firefighters'  benefit law, shall be
     6  exempt from jury duty.
     7    2. The chief administrator of the courts shall prescribe a form to  be
     8  used  therefor.  Any qualified person may file such form with the appro-
     9  priate commissioner of jurors who shall  thereupon  exempt  such  person
    10  from jury duty. Such exemption shall remain valid as long as such person
    11  remains a volunteer firefighter.
    12    § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after

    13  it shall have become a law; provided that the chief administrator of the
    14  courts is authorized to promulgate any and all rules and regulations and
    15  take any other measures necessary to implement this act on its effective
    16  date on or before such date.
