This bill increases the daily fee paid to jurors in Oklahoma courts from $20 to $75 and authorizes the payment of parking fees for district court jurors. It establishes a new Lengthy Trial Fund to provide wage replacement or supplementation for jurors serving on civil cases for more than ten days, with funding collected through a $10 fee charged to attorneys filing civil cases. The fund is designed to cover the difference between a juror's regular wages and the state jury fee, with specific exemptions for government attorneys, pro se litigants, and cases involving minimal court resources. Additionally, the bill allows courts to award supplemental wages for days four through ten of service if a juror faces significant financial hardship.
