Introduced by Rep. Ron Crimm on January 6, 2009, to change the way a term of jury service is determined by counting some days in which a court may not be in session. The bill would count, as part of a thirty day term, weekdays in which public offices are open instead of only when court is in session. The bill also extends the amount of time between eligibility for jury service from two years to five years.

Some counties already go by the month, not court days. Pay jurors for their time; $12.50 is not enough. Everything has gone up since the 30's except jury pay. Even, some retirement participants have increased their contribution from 5% to 6%. If you only paid the 12.50 for appearance, excused $0, served on a jury $20 would be better than what you're doing now.
