Bill Summary
Relative to jury duty parking fees. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 27A of chapter 218 of the Massachusetts General Laws by adding a new provision that requires district courts to reimburse parking fees for citizens who are summoned for jury duty. Specifically, the bill allows for parking fee reimbursement up to $50 per day for individuals called to serve on a jury. This change aims to reduce the financial burden on potential jurors who must travel to court for jury service, making jury duty more accessible and less costly for citizens. By providing parking fee reimbursement, the bill seeks to remove a potential barrier to civic participation and ensure that individuals are not financially penalized for fulfilling their legal obligation to serve on a jury.
