AI Summary
This bill amends the Criminal Procedure Law to require the release of the district attorney's grand jury charges to the public upon request, once the grand jury has reached a final decision. However, the court may redact the names of witnesses and any information that could identify them, if the court determines there is a reasonable likelihood that public release of such information would endanger any individual.
