District of Columbia Juror Pay Parity Act

This bill, known as the District of Columbia Juror Pay Parity Act, would require jurors serving in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia to receive the same fees and expenses as those serving in U.S. district courts. The legislation directly affects grand and petit jurors in the Superior Court by updating the local code to match federal payment standards. Under this change, the Superior Court would no longer pay lower rates to its jurors compared to federal court jurors, and the new payment rules would take effect starting the first fiscal year after the bill is enacted.
