The Jury Fair Compensation Improvement Act aims to enhance the compensation for jurors in Iowa. Specifically, it amends Section 607A.8, subsection 1 of the Code 2025, increasing the daily compensation for both grand jurors and petit jurors from $30 to $60. This adjustment applies to all days of service or attendance, including those required for consideration for jury duty.

Additionally, the Act allows the supreme court to establish rules for providing extra compensation to jurors whose service extends beyond seven days. This legislative change is intended to improve the financial support for jurors, recognizing the importance of their civic duty and the potential financial burden that jury service can impose.
