Bill > S2141

This bill, by amending Section 9-29-5 of the General Laws, increases the daily fee paid to both grand and petit jurors for their attendance in superior court from twenty-five dollars ($25.00) to fifty dollars ($50.00) per day, with this change set to take effect on July 1, 2026. The bill also retains the provision allowing jurors to donate their fees to the state, with such donations going to the Rhode Island Veterans Home Community Living Center, and specifies that the General Assembly will annually allocate funds for these increased juror payments. This act will become law immediately upon its passage.
