Relating to grand jury proceedings; providing a punishment for contempt of court.

HB 5564 modifies Texas grand jury procedures to enhance fairness and transparency. It prohibits grand juries from re-investigating a person for the same offense if a prior grand jury already found no indictment, unless the state presents new evidence not available before. The bill also requires prosecutors to share exculpatory evidence (favorable to the accused) with the grand jury and grants witnesses (including accused persons) the right to have their attorney present during questioning, with opportunities for private consultation. These changes directly affect prosecutors, grand jurors, and individuals under investigation by grand juries. The bill focuses on procedural safeguards rather than penalties for contempt, as suggested by its title.
