Modifies provisions relating to the compensation of jurors

HB 131 increases the base daily compensation for Missouri jurors from $6 to $6 per day (plus 7 cents per mile for travel), with counties allowed to add $6 more per day. If a county provides this additional $6, the state reimburses the county $6, resulting in a total daily rate of $18 for jurors. Counties with populations over 200,000 may instead pay $50 per day starting on the third day of service, while still covering mileage at 7 cents per mile. This bill directly affects jurors serving in Missouri courts and county/city governments responsible for paying compensation.
