Official Summary Text

AB 2708, as introduced, Gabriel.
Grand juries.
Under existing law, a grand jury is a body of the required number of persons chosen from the citizens of the county to serve before a court of competent jurisdiction, and sworn to inquire of public offenses that are committed or triable within the county. Existing law requires the fees for grand jurors to be $15 per each day’s attendance as a grand juror.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that provision.
