SB 1002 Special grand juries.

Introduced by: Kenneth W. Stolle | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Special grand juries. Authorizes an attorney for the Commonwealth to request a special grand jury to investigate criminal activity within his jurisdiction in much the same way as may currently be done with regard to criminal activity which crosses jurisdictional lines. The procedures would be similar to those applicable to the multi-jurisdictional grand juries. The special grand jury will have the power to investigate and to indict.

This bill is recommended by the joint subcommittee studying Virginia's drug laws.
