Bill Summary
An Act relating to grand juries; repealing 22 O.S. 2021, Section 384, which relates to names of witnesses endorsed on indictment; and providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill repeals a specific Oklahoma law, 22 O.S. 2021, Section 384, which previously required that the names of witnesses who testified before a grand jury be officially noted, or "endorsed," on the indictment, which is a formal accusation of a crime. By removing this requirement, the bill simplifies the grand jury process by no longer mandating the listing of witness names on the indictment itself, and it will become effective according to the Oklahoma Constitution's rules for when new laws take effect.
