AI Summary

  • Increases juror fees from $4 per day to $25 for the first day and $50 for each subsequent day of service, eliminating the previous distinction between county classes.

  • Removes the requirement that jurors receive mileage reimbursement (previously at least 10 cents per mile), allowing counties to set travel expense amounts independently.

  • Allows jurors to elect to waive fees for service, transportation, or day care in any combination.

  • Simplifies jury size requirements in civil cases by removing the $50,000 damage threshold and establishing that juries shall be 6 members, with provisions for parties to request 12-member juries and allowing separate fees for alternate jurors.
