Governor, make jury duty easier on the pocketbook for working Illinoisans
House Bill 4844 proposes requiring employers to pay workers their regular wages during jury duty in Illinois, addressing concerns that low juror pay disproportionately excludes hourly workers and low-income individuals from jury pools. The bill includes an exemption for small businesses with 25 or fewer employees.
