AN ACT RELATING TO COURTS AND CIVIL PROCEDURE -- PROCEDURE GENERALLY -- FEES

SB 303 increases daily pay for jurors serving in Rhode Island superior courts from $25 to $50 per day, effective July 1, 2025. It directly affects individuals summoned for jury duty in superior court cases. The bill also allows jurors to voluntarily donate their daily fee to the Rhode Island Veterans Home Community Living Center, with donations deposited into the state general fund. The increased payment requires annual legislative funding to cover the costs.
