COMMITTEE NOTE: This section is new language substituted for former CJ §
8-106(a).
The substitution of "per diem" for "day" as the defined term avoids
confusion with day as used in other contexts and emphasizes that the
practice has been to treat the amount received as reimbursement instead
of compensation.
The substitution of "all of the time" for the former reference to the "length
of time" reflects that the total period need not be consecutive.
The addition of the phrase "from midnight" reflects that the 24-hour
period is during a single calendar day.
Reference to "prospective", "qualified", and "sworn" jurors is added to state
expressly that those individuals called, but not selected, for jury service
are included. Accordingly, the former phrase "in which the juror has been
called as a juror" is deleted.
Defined terms: "Circuit court" § 1-101
"Prospective juror" § 8-101
"Qualified juror" § 8-101
8-126. AMOUNT.

DAYS, A STATE PER DIEM OF $50.
COMMITTEE NOTE: Subsections (a)(1) and (b) of this section are new language
derived without substantive change from former CJ § 8-106(b) and revised
to clarify that the enhanced per diem is for a single lengthy trial.
Subsection (a)(2) of this section is added to state expressly that an
individual is entitled to the county supplement, if any, authorized under
revised CJ § 8-427.
In the introductory language of subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the
