	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1161, Papan.  Grand jurors:  compensation.
   Existing law provides that unless a higher fee or rate of mileage
is otherwise provided by statute or county or city and county
ordinance, the fees for grand jurors are $10 a day for each day's
attendance as a grand juror, and 15
a mile, in going only, for each mile actually traveled in attending
court as a grand juror.  o   This bill would provide, instead, that
unless a higher fee or rate of mileage is otherwise provided by
statute or county or city and county ordinance, the fees for grand
jurors are $15 a day for each day's attendance as a grand juror and
the mileage reimbursement applicable to county employees for each
mile actually traveled in attending court as a grand juror.
   This bill would be operative July 1, 2001.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 890 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   890.  Unless a higher fee or rate of mileage is otherwise provided
by statute or county or city and county ordinance, the fees for
grand jurors are fifteen dollars ($15) a day for each day's
attendance as a grand juror, and the mileage reimbursement applicable
to county employees for each mile actually traveled in attending
court as a grand juror.
  SEC. 2.  This act shall become operative July 1, 2002.
