relative to grand jury minutes and relative to the defense and indemnification of certain government officers and employees.

Summary

The bill mandates that each grand jury appoint a clerk to record and preserve minutes of its proceedings, and it guarantees a criminal defendant access to any minutes relevant to their case. It also expands state indemnification and defense coverage to include assistant county attorneys, county attorneys, and municipal prosecutors when they face complaints or investigations by licensing boards, committees, or regulatory agencies, as long as they act within the scope of their official duties. The measure seeks to improve transparency in grand jury work and shield government lawyers from personal liability.
