LANSING (AP) — Michigan jurors would get more pay for jury duty under a bill working its way through the Legislature.
The House passed legislation that would raise the payment for jurors from $25 to $30 for a full day of service. It would raise the half-day payment from $12.50 to $15.
GOP Rep. Pete Lucido of Shelby Township is sponsoring the bill. He says that in some cities it costs $20 to $25 to park, so a juror who is there for a half-day loses $12.50.
The bill passed unanimously in the House and now goes to the GOP-controlled Senate.
