Grand jury investigations; require notice of investigation to law enforcement officers and opportunity to testify.
SB 2791 requires prosecutors to provide law enforcement officers with written notice at least 20 days before a grand jury considers indicting them for crimes involving lethal force used during official duties. The notice informs officers they may voluntarily testify after the state presents its case and explains their rights, including the ability to refuse self-incrimination. Officers may be questioned by prosecutors or the grand jury during testimony, but their attorneys cannot object to questions or provide testimony on their behalf. The bill mandates that all such prosecutions must proceed via grand jury indictment and applies to both felony and misdemeanor cases involving lethal force incidents.
