MR. SPEAKER:

        (1) Except as provided in subsection (f), an amount for mileage at the mileage rate paid to state officers and employees for each mile necessarily traveled to and from the court.
        (2) Payment at the rate of:
            (A) fifteen dollars ($15) for each day the juror is in actual attendance in court until the jury is impaneled; and
            (B) forty dollars ($40) for each day the juror is in actual attendance after impaneling and until the jury is discharged.
    (b) A county fiscal body may adopt an ordinance to pay from county funds a supplemental fee in addition to the fees prescribed by subsection (a)(2).
    (c) A juror of a city or town court is entitled to the sum of the following:
        (1) Except as provided in subsection (f), an amount for mileage at the mileage rate paid to state officers and employees for each mile necessarily traveled to and from the court.
        (2) Fifteen dollars ($15) per day while the juror is in actual attendance.
    (d) A city or town fiscal body may adopt an ordinance to pay from city or town funds a supplemental fee in addition to the fee prescribed by subsection (c)(2).

If a county, city, or town fiscal body adopts an ordinance under this subsection, the county, city, or town may pay the parking fees incurred by a juror of a circuit, superior, county, or probate court or a member of a grand jury instead of paying the juror or grand jury member an amount for mileage at the rate provided in subsection (a)(1) or (c)(1).
