Senate Bill No. introduced by M. Yakawich proposes amendments to the compensation structure for individuals summoned for jury duty in Montana. The bill stipulates that jurors will receive $60 per day, an increase from the previous amount of $25, and those selected to serve on a jury will receive an additional $60 per day, also an increase from the previous $25. The bill amends Section 3-15-201 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to reflect these changes in compensation.

Additionally, the bill removes a provision regarding funding allocation for the reimbursement of counties for the costs associated with jury duty compensation. This deletion eliminates the requirement for counties to invoice the Office of Court Administrator for reimbursement related to jury duty expenses in criminal cases. Overall, the bill aims to enhance juror compensation while streamlining the funding process.
