Bill Summary
This bill amends section 19 of P.L.1993, c.275 (C.22A:1-1.1) to establish a $40 daily pay rate for grand and petit jurors. Currently, jurors receive $5 for each day's attendance. In addition, each person serving as a juror, other than certain full-time government employees, is paid $35 for each consecutive day of attendance in excess of three days. This bill requires an immediate $40 per day beginning on the first day of service. This bill also makes an appropriation of $6,000,000 from the General Fund to the Administrative Office of the Courts to pay for this increase in juror pay.
