Establishes $40 daily pay rate for jurors.
New Jersey's S 121 bill changes the daily pay rate for jurors from $5 to $40 per day for all grand and petit jurors starting immediately. This replaces the current system, which paid $5 daily plus $35 for days beyond three, making $40 the base rate from the first day of service. The bill appropriates $6 million from the General Fund to cover the increased costs. It directly affects all citizens summoned for jury duty in New Jersey courts.
