Increases the allowance for trial and grand jurors in New York's unified court system.
This bill amends the New York judiciary law to increase the daily allowance for trial and grand jurors from forty to seventy-two dollars. Jurors who are employed and earn less than seventy-two dollars per day will receive the difference between their daily wage and seventy-two dollars. Employers can still withhold wages for jury service, except for the first seventy-two dollars for the first three days for employers with more than ten employees. The bill also specifies that expenses for providing food and lodging for jurors are a state charge.
