Died in Judiciary
Summary
The proposal would create rules for preserving all grand‑jury recordings, documents and other materials and would permit a court to order their release in limited circumstances, such as to verify testimony, address perjury, or further justice for survivors and families. It would apply to grand‑jury participants, state attorneys, clerks, and anyone handling the materials, and would make unauthorized publishing a first‑degree misdemeanor. The measure aimed to increase transparency while protecting the integrity of grand‑jury proceedings.
