Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Increasing the mileage reimbursement paid to jurors from 15 cents a mile to 50 cents a mile will require a General Fund appropriation to the Judicial Department of $223,500 in fiscal year 2007-08 and $298,667 in fiscal year 2008-09.  This bill will also make it necessary to call more jurors for each term, increasing expenditures for juror service.  It is not possible at this time to specifically identify the additional costs associated with this proposal.
