Harris County Commissioners Court opted not to pay $6 starting in 2011 as a cost-cutting measure. So jury pay went from $40 to $28 in 2011. The state added $2 more in September 2012, bringing it to $30. Jury pay now rises to $40 a day, with $34 coming from the state and $6 from the county.
Effective October 1, 2003, jury pay in Michigan increased to $12.50 per 1/2 day for the first day of service and $20.00 per half day for the second or subsequent days of service. The difference in the old $7.50 rate and new rates is being picked up by the state by way of increase court fees.
