AI Summary
This bill, effective March 22, 2075, amends existing law in Hawaii to increase the daily payment for jurors and prospective jurors, those individuals summoned for jury duty, from $30 to $50 for each day they are present in court. Additionally, it clarifies that jurors will be reimbursed for travel expenses, receiving either 33 cents per mile or the cost of an adult bus fare, whichever is greater, even if they are excused from service after appearing.
