HB 87 Veit, Rudy
HB 87 -- COMPENSATION OF JURORS
SPONSOR: Veit
This bill specifies that, except in Greene County, the County Commission in any county may vote to restructure juror compensation so that grand and petit jurors do not get paid for the first two days of service but thereafter will receive $50 per day, as well as $0.07 per mile for necessary travel from the juror's residence to the courthouse and back, to be paid by the county. A county commission may authorize compensation to a grand or petit juror for the first two days of service, but the compensation cannot exceed $10 per day.
This bill is the same as HB 1551 (2022) and similar to HCS HB 160 (2021).
