S 506 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes $40 daily pay rate for jurors.

S 506 increases juror pay in New Jersey from $5 to $40 per day for all grand and petit jurors, effective immediately. This applies to every day of service, replacing the current system where jurors received $5 daily plus $35 for days beyond three consecutive days. The bill appropriates $6 million from the General Fund to cover this change, directly affecting all non-government employee jurors serving in New Jersey courts. It eliminates the previous tiered payment structure, ensuring consistent daily compensation starting on day one.
