District of Columbia Juror Pay Parity Act

This act aims to ensure that individuals serving as jurors in District of Columbia courts receive the same pay and expense reimbursement as jurors in federal courts. This means citizens called for jury duty in D.C. can expect higher or equal pay rates, potentially easing the financial burden of fulfilling this important civic duty.
Key points
Jurors in the District of Columbia will receive the same pay and expense rates as jurors in U.S. district courts.
The changes will apply to fees and expenses paid on or after the first day of the first fiscal year following the act's enactment.
