Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

55 ILCS 5/4-11001

from Ch. 34, par. 4-11001

30 ILCS 805/8.29 new

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Counties Code. Increases the amount paid by the county to jurors for their services in attending courts. Authorizes the clerk of court to impose a juror fund fee of no more than $10 on each plaintiff and defendant in an action for the purpose of funding juror fees. Exempts parties to certain types of actions from the payment of the juror fund fee. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement by the State. Effective immediately.

House Amendment No. 1
Deletes everything and re-inserts similar provisions with these changes: provides that juror fees for service, transportation, and day care shall be paid out of the County Juror Fund, unless amounts in that Fund are insufficient, in which case they shall be paid out of the county treasury; provides that the juror fund fee shall be fixed by the county board, subject to the $10 limit; provides that moneys in the Fund and all income earned on those moneys shall remain in the Fund and shall be available for appropriation by the county board from fiscal year to fiscal year for the purposes provided in the new provisions; provides that parties to actions under the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 are exempt from payment of juror fund fees; and provides that, in a class action, the court shall determine the amount of the fee, if any, to be charged to each plaintiff and defendant as equity requires. Effective immediately.

	Judicial Note (H-AM 1) Admin Office of the Illinois Courts)
	Based on a review of House Bill 339 (H-AM 1) it has been determined that the legislation would neither increase nor decrease the number of judges needed in the State.

House Amendment No. 4
Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of House amendment No. 1 with changes. Provides that the increased juror fees take effect when a juror fund fee is imposed. Requires county boards, within 180 days, to conduct a cost study and impose juror fund fees. Allows the county board to modify juror fund fees, but increases must be supported by an acceptable cost study. Provides that once juror fund fees are imposed, juror fees shall be paid out of the County Juror Fund (not the county treasury generally). Requires monthly transfers from the county treasury to the Fund equal to one-twelfth of the juror fees paid out of the county treasury during the 12-month period before juror fund fees are imposed. Preempts home rule powers. Effective immediately.

	Fiscal Note (H-AM 4) (Admin Office of the Illinois Courts)
	Based on a review of House Bill 339 (H-AM 4) it has been determined that the legislation would not have a fiscal impact on the State, however, there would be a fiscal impact on the judicial branch at the county level. The fiscal impact of this legislation would vary county-to-county.
