Under previous law, a person reporting for jury service could sign a certain form letter directing the county treasurer to donate all or a portion of the juror's per diem payment to certain funds and programs, including the child welfare board of the county. Senate Bill 1675 amends the Government Code to clarify that such reimbursement may be donated to the child welfare, child protective services, or child services board of the county that serves abused and neglected children. The bill requires the form letter to contain a brief description of the programs designated for donation.
