Increases the amount of allowance that trial and grand jurors are entitled to in each court of the unified court system
This bill increases the daily allowance for trial and grand jurors in New York's unified court system from $40 to $72 per day. Employed jurors earning less than $72 daily will receive the difference between their wages and $72. Employers with over 10 staff cannot withhold the first $72 of a juror's wages for the first three days of service. The change applies to all jurors serving in the state's courts and takes effect 30 days after enactment.
