Many states are putting in the 70 yr old + expemptions .

The 70 yr old exemption however has to be requested by the person called. Being 70 yrs old allows you to claim yourself as unfit and all you do is ask to be exempted on the questionaire.
People who are below 70 need a doctor's letter therefore to actually be excused.

Check with your local court employees on what is being done in your state.

I just went thru this process myself, and even though I am just a few months shy of 70, I was told to provide a doctor's letter to be excused, which I did. Besides I had been called twice before and sat one one felony trial. That is enough for me. And my doctor agreed.
