leave shall be entitled to an unpaid leave of absence under Article XI of Part 4,
Unpaid Leave of Absence, of this chapter. An eligible employee who serves as a
member of any jury shall be permitted to be absent from work without loss of pay and
without charge against leave. Jurors may retain [compensation] THE STATE PER
DIEM AND COUNTY SUPPLEMENT, IF ANY, received for jury service. Any employee
[called] SUMMONED for jury service must present his/her orders to his/her
Supervisor upon receipt. Any time during the period of jury service on which it is
determined that the employee's service is not required as a jury member, or upon
completion of service for the day, the employee shall immediately report to the
Supervisor for duty.
COMMITTEE NOTE: Ch. 372, Acts of 2006, which enacted revised CJ Title 8,
also amended this section to substitute the reference to the "State per
diem" and "county supplement" for the former reference to "compensation",
to reflect the practice of treating the payment as reimbursement, and to
substitute "summoned" for "called" as more precise.
Article 9 - Charles County
27-7.
(A) It shall be the duty of the County Commissioners to levy for the use of the
Treasurer of Charles County, annually in advance, such sum of money as they may
deem sufficient to discharge all claims which may accrue for the attendance of
bailiffs, crier, messengers, [jurors] and witnesses for [the term of] the Circuit Court
for one year next succeeding the first day of January after said levy[, and said].
(B) (1) THE COUNTY Treasurer shall collect and have ready said money to
pay said bailiffs, crier, messengers, [jurors] and witnesses, in cash[, at and during
said terms of court and immediately upon the adjournment thereof] upon a certificate
from the Clerk of said court as to the amount due to each of the same.
(2) THE COUNTY TREASURER SHALL COLLECT AND HAVE READY MONEY
TO PAY EACH PROSPECTIVE, QUALIFIED, AND SWORN JUROR ON A CERTIFICATE
THAT IS SIGNED BY THE JURY COMMISSIONER AND STATES THE NUMBER OF DAYS
THAT EACH HAS BEEN REQUIRED TO BE IN ATTENDANCE AT OR IN PROXIMITY TO
THE COURT FOR JURY SERVICE.
(C) Any failure upon the part of said County Commissioners to make said levy
as aforesaid shall be deemed a misdemeanor, for which they shall be liable to the
penalty of a fine of not [less than $25 nor] more than $100 each, upon conviction
[before a Justice of the Peace or the Circuit Court for Charles County as in the case
of other misdemeanors in which Justices of the Peace and the Circuit Court have
concurrent jurisdiction under the existing law].
(D) In case said Treasurer shall fail to collect said money, unless it shall be
known in his defense that the failure to collect the same was through no fault or
neglect on his part, he shall be similarly fined as in the case of the County
Commissioners as aforesaid and shall be liable to removal from office by said County
Commissioners upon conviction.
