    Sec. 4-11001. Juror fees. Each county shall pay to grand
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.
