Each county shall pay to grand and petit jurors for their services in attending courts the sums of $25 for the first day and thereafter $50 for each day of necessary attendance, or such higher amount as may be fixed by the county board.
     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 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.
