Bill > SR875

This resolution proposes an amendment to the state's Constitution to establish state-wide grand juries, which would have the authority to investigate and issue indictments for crimes committed anywhere within the state, specifically focusing on matters related to voting, elections, and violations of election laws. These grand juries would consist of 13 to 23 members and serve for a term of up to 12 months. A presiding judge, designated by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, would oversee each grand jury, and the Attorney General or their designee would serve as the legal advisor and prosecutor. The resolution outlines that these grand juries can be convened upon the Attorney General's petition to the Supreme Court, and procedures for summoning them, compelling witness testimony, and producing documents will be established by law. The proposed amendment will be submitted to voters for ratification or rejection.
