SCS/HB 945 - This act allows counties and the City of St. Louis to pay jurors $18 a day plus mileage for each day the person actually serves. Currently, juror compensation is set at $6 per day. Juror pay may be increased if the county authorizes daily compensation payable from county funds of at least $12 per day; the additional $6 per day shall be reimbursed by the state. In Greene County, no grand or petit juror shall receive compensation for the first 2 days of service, but thereafter shall receive $50 per day and .07 per mile, to be paid by the county.

This act also allows fees collected in Greene County pursuant to Section 488.426 (allowing a $15 surcharge on civil case filings) to be used for the county's or circuit's family services and justice fund.
