New Jersey S506 establishes a $40 daily pay rate for jurors.

New Jersey S506 amends the law to set a $40 daily pay rate for grand and petit jurors, replacing the current $5 daily rate. The Assignment Judge will manage the payment process and provide jurors with a statement of their service days and fees. The bill also allocates $6,000,000 from the General Fund to the Administrative Office of the Courts to cover this increased pay. The changes take effect immediately.
