The Oklahoma Senate has approved a bill to give a raise for people on jury duty in state and local courts from $20 up to $30 per day.

The author of Senate Bill 713 said reimbursement hasn't increased in 20 years, while neighboring states, like Arkansas and New Mexico, pay $50 per day. 

For comparison, jurors for federal cases get $50 per day.

That bill now goes to the House for consideration.
