INDIANA — Prospective and seated jurors will be better compensated for their time effective July 1.
The new juror compensation bill passed unopposed in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Under House Enrolled Act 1466, juror compensation will be doubled for both those called for jury duty and for those who are ultimately chosen to sit in the jury box.
Currently, prospective jurors are paid $15 per day and seated jurors will receive $40 per day.
Effective July 1, prospective jurors will be compensated $30 per day and seated jurors will get $80 per day for the first five days of trial and $90 per day for trials extending past five days.
