AN ACT RELATING TO CRIMINAL PROCEDURE -- COUNTY GRAND JURIES

Summary

The measure expands grand jury powers by allowing them to submit reports on ethics violations or matters of public concern, provided at least twelve jurors agree. It also standardizes grand jury size at 13 to 23 members and creates a court‑based process for accepting, redacting, or sealing those reports, with notice and appeal rights for anyone named. The changes aim to increase transparency while protecting confidential information and pending criminal cases.
