and petit jurors for their services
in attending courts the sum 
of $4 for each day of necessary attendance at
such courts as 
jurors in counties of the first class, the sum of $5 for
each 
day in counties of the second class, and the sum of $10 for 
each
day in counties of the third class, or such higher amount 
as may be fixed by
the county board. 

    In addition, jurors shall receive such travel expense as

may be determined by the county board, provided that jurors in

counties of the first class and second class shall receive at

least 10 cents per mile for their travel expense.
Mileage shall 
be allowed for travel during a juror's term as well as for

travel at the opening and closing of his term.

    If a judge so orders, a juror
shall also receive 
reimbursement for the actual cost of day care incurred by
the 
juror during his or her service on a jury.

    The juror fees for service, transportation, and day care 
shall be paid out
of the county treasury.

    The clerk of the court shall
furnish to each juror without 
fee whenever he is discharged a certificate
of the number of 
days' attendance at court, and upon presentation thereof
to the 
county treasurer, he shall pay to the juror the sum
provided 
for his service.

    Any juror may elect to waive the fee paid for service, 
transportation, or day care, or any combination thereof.
