NEW SECTION.  Sec. 104   A new section is added to chapter 2.36 RCW to read as follows:
     (1) The compensation to be paid jurors by counties and cities in RCW 2.36.150, 3.50.135, and 35.20.090 shall only take effect and shall only remain in effect upon an appropriation by the state legislature in each ensuing biennium to reimburse counties and municipalities for fifty percent of the cost of juror compensation and fifty percent of the cost of jury mileage.
     (2) For each period for which a county or city seeks reimbursement for the expense of juror mileage and juror fees under RCW 2.36.150, 3.50.135, and 35.20.090, the jurisdiction shall submit documentation sufficiently detailing the total amount of mileage paid to all jurors, the total number of individuals reporting for at least one day or partial day of jury service and the total number of days or partial days served by the jurors so reporting.
     (3) The amount of reimbursement for which each jurisdiction is eligible shall be calculated by summing the total amount of mileage paid multiplied by fifty percent and the total number of individual jurors reporting multiplied by fifty percent of the amount set by the local jurisdiction for the first day of service and the total number of days served by reporting jurors less the total number of individuals reporting for jury service multiplied by fifty percent of the amount set by the local jurisdiction.
     (4) A sum equal to fifty percent of any savings realized by a county or city by result of the adoption of this act shall be deposited in the local trial court improvement account. The calculation of the amount to be deposited in the local trial court improvement account shall be the sum total of the amount to be reimbursed a jurisdiction under subsection (3) of this section minus fifty percent of the sum total of the total amount of mileage paid and the total number of days served by reporting jurors multiplied by ten dollars."
