Read the official explanation
This bill increases juror and witness compensation. Under the bill, jurors and witnesses earn per day the hourly rate that public defenders earn on all cases other than class “A” felonies and class “B” felonies, as provided for in Code section 815.7(5), which is $63. Under current law, juror compensation is $30 per day, and witness compensation is $10 for a full day’s attendance and $5 for attendance of less than a full day.
