Establishes $40 daily pay rate for jurors.
This bill increases New Jersey's daily juror pay from $5 to $40 per day for all jurors (both grand and petit) serving in state courts, effective immediately. It replaces the current system - where jurors received $5 daily plus $35 for days beyond three - with a flat $40 rate starting on the first day of service. The bill appropriates $6 million from the General Fund to cover this increase through the Administrative Office of the Courts. This change affects all eligible jurors except certain full-time government employees already compensated under separate provisions.
