Increases juror pay and mileage reimbursement for jury duty in Hawaii.

This bill amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to increase the daily pay for jurors from $30 to $50 and to provide mileage reimbursement or bus fare for travel to and from court. Jurors or prospective jurors who are excused or exempted from service will still receive the mileage fee or bus fare. The bill appropriates funds for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 to cover these changes.
