A bill for an act relating to jurors’ compensation.

Maddy summaryHF 454 increases daily jury compensation in Iowa from $30 to $60 for both grand and petit jurors serving in all courts. This directly affects individuals summoned for jury duty statewide, providing higher pay for each day served or required for consideration. The bill amends Iowa Code section 607A.8 to establish the new rate, while allowing the Supreme Court to set additional compensation for jurors serving beyond seven days. The change aims to improve financial support for citizens fulfilling this civic obligation.
