This bill amends existing Louisiana law regarding compensation for jurors and jury commissioners. Specifically, it updates the compensation structure for jurors, establishing a daily payment of twenty-five dollars for court attendance. Additionally, it modifies the mileage allowance for jurors, changing it from a range of not less than sixteen cents per mile to an amount equal to the rate in effect for state officials for each mile traveled to and from the courthouse.

Furthermore, the bill addresses the compensation for jury commissioners, who will now receive seventy-five dollars per day for actual attendance at meetings, along with a mileage fee that is not less than twenty-one cents per mile and aligns with the rate for state officials for travel to and from their meeting locations. These changes aim to ensure fair compensation for those serving in jury-related capacities.
