(1) 33 cents for each mile actually and necessarily traveled in going to and from court; or
(2) The cost of an adult bus fare to and from the court.
A person who appears at the time for which that person is summoned to court for jury duty may be allowed the mileage fee or bus fare although the person, upon that person's request, is subsequently excused or exempted from jury service.
(b) In the discretion of the court, any juror who incurs expenses for transportation, board, and lodging as a result of the distance the juror resides from the location of the court, may be reimbursed for actual expenses.
(c) All jurors or prospective jurors shall be exempt from any prosecution, penalty, or fine as a result of a parking violation committed in connection with the juror or prospective juror appearing at court for jury duty; provided that the juror or prospective juror shall present any parking citation received during this time to the court clerk of the circuit court or district court or the jury pool clerk, as appropriate, who shall verify that the juror or prospective juror was serving on jury duty or appearing in court in response to a summons for jury duty at the time the citation was received. The clerk of the circuit court or district court or the jury pool clerk, as appropriate, shall keep an attendance roll in which shall be entered each juror's or prospective juror's name, each date the juror or prospective juror was summoned and appeared for jury duty, and the date the juror or prospective juror was discharged from service. The supreme court shall adopt rules necessary to effect this section.
