§ 62-128. Payment for attendance at court during off hours.
Latest version.
If any sheriff, deputy sheriff or member of any municipal or county police force shall
be required by writ of subpoena to attend the municipal court or city court as a witness
in behalf of the city or state during any hours except the regular duty hours to which
the officer is assigned, such officer shall be paid the sum of $25.00 per day for
such attendance. The claim for such witness fees shall be endorsed on the subpoena
showing the dates of attendance and stating that attendance was required during the
hours other than the regular duty hours to which the claimant was assigned, and the
claimant shall verify this statement. The dates of attendance shall be certified by
the solicitor of the municipal court, and the amount due shall be paid from funds
allocated to the court for the payment of expenses of operating such court and the
enforcement of the laws of the state relating to and regulating traffic. However,
no such officer may claim or receive more than one witness fee per day for attendance
in any court or before the grand jury, regardless of the number of subpoenas which
such officer may have received, requiring the officer to appear in such court or before
the grand jury in any one day.
