New Jersey A717 sets a $40 daily pay rate for jurors.

New Jersey A717 amends the law to establish a $40 daily pay rate for jurors, up from the current $5. This change applies to all jurors except certain full-time government employees. The bill also appropriates $6,000,000 from the General Fund to the Administrative Office of the Courts to cover this increased pay. The Assignment Judge will oversee the payment process and provide jurors with a statement of their service days and pay.
