AN ACT REQUIRING MINIMUM WAGE COMPENSATION FOR ALL JURORS.

HB 5331 requires the state to pay all jurors the state minimum wage for time served in jury duty, specifically when their employer does not compensate them for the hours missed. This directly affects individuals summoned for jury service across all courts, ensuring they receive at least the state minimum wage for their service time. The bill amends existing law to establish this minimum wage floor, replacing the previous system where compensation varied based on employer policies. It aims to create uniformity and fairness in jury pay without altering the current structure of jury service obligations.
