JURY DUTY: Permits jurors to donate their per diem compensation to the Capital Area Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) (EN NO IMPACT LF EX See Note)
This bill amends the language in a previous law to clarify that jurors can donate their daily jury duty pay to the Capital Area Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) organization. The changes correct minor wording errors by replacing "the" with "their" and updating a section reference from "Paragraph (A)" to "Subsection A." These adjustments ensure the existing rule allowing jurors to give their compensation to CASA is clearly written without altering the policy itself.
