AN ACT CONCERNING REVISIONS TO VARIOUS LAWS CONCERNING IGNITION INTERLOCK DEVICES, THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION, JUDICIAL RETIREMENT SALARIES AND CRIMINAL LAW AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE.

This bill updates laws regarding juror compensation and modifies procedures for risk protection orders. It requires employers to pay regular wages to full-time employees serving as jurors for the first five days of their duty, while providing state-funded flat fees and travel reimbursements to part-time and unemployed jurors. Additionally, the legislation clarifies the criteria judges must consider when issuing risk protection orders, specifically including recent acts of cruelty toward animals as evidence of potential danger. These changes aim to ensure fairer financial treatment for jurors and provide clearer guidelines for public safety orders.
