 Introduced by M. of A. NOVAKHOV -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Judiciary

 AN ACT to amend the judiciary law, in relation to increasing the allow-
 ances provided to trial and grand jurors

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision (a) of section 521 of the judiciary law, as
 2 amended by chapter 302 of the laws of 2002, is amended to read as
 3 follows:
 4 (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b) of this section, trial and
 5 grand jurors in each court of the unified court system shall be entitled
 6 to an allowance equal to the sum of [forty] sixty dollars per day for
 7 the first ten days and one hundred dollars for each and every day there-
 8 after of physical attendance wherein the court convenes, except that no
 9 person who is employed shall be entitled to receive such allowance if,
 10 pursuant to section five hundred nineteen of this article, [his or her]
 11 such juror's employer is prohibited from withholding [the first forty
 12 dollars] such applicable amount of wages of such person during such
 13 applicable period and such person's daily wages equal or exceed [forty
 14 dollars] such applicable amounts. If such person's daily wages are less
 15 than [forty dollars] the applicable amount, [he or she] such juror shall
 16 be entitled to receive an allowance hereunder equal to the difference
 17 between [forty dollars] such amount and the amount of [his or her] such
 18 juror's daily wages. Such fees and those expenses actually and necessar-
 19 ily incurred in providing food and lodging for jurors shall be a state
 20 charge payable out of funds appropriated to the office of court adminis-
 21 tration for that purpose.
 22 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
