Establishes $40 daily pay rate for jurors and certain other juror benefits; appropriates $20 million.
This proposed bill would increase New Jersey jury pay from $5 to $40 per day for all grand and petit jurors, replacing the current rate. It adds travel reimbursement (based on standard mileage for cars or actual fares for public transit) and toll reimbursements for jurors traveling to court. Private employers with 10 or more employees would be required to pay up to five days' salary during jury duty, without using the employee’s paid time off. The bill appropriates $20 million from the General Fund to cover these new costs.
