Bill Summary
This bill increases the amount a grand juror or a petit juror is compensated for jury service or attendance from $30 to $60 per day.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Jury Fair Compensation Improvement Act," increases the daily compensation for grand and petit jurors in all Iowa courts from $30 to $60 per day. The bill modifies Section 607A.8 of the Iowa Code to update the compensation rate for jurors, which covers both their actual service and time spent being considered for jury duty. Additionally, the bill allows the supreme court to establish rules for potential additional compensation for jurors whose attendance and service extends beyond seven days. This change aims to provide more equitable compensation for individuals fulfilling their civic duty of jury service, potentially making jury duty more financially manageable for citizens who must take time away from their regular employment to serve.
