Summary

Existing law provides that a person is competent to act as a grand juror only if he or she possesses specified qualifications. Existing law specifies the exemptions and excuses which relieve a person from liability to serve as a grand juror. The jury commissioner is required to inquire into the qualifications of prospective grand jurors and return a list of recommended grand jurors to the court. No challenge shall be made or allowed to the panel from which the grand jury is drawn, nor to an individual, except when made by the court for want of qualification, as prescribed. This bill would provide that, notwithstanding the above provisions, a grand juror who is a current employee of, or a former or retired employee last employed within the prior 3 years by, an agency within the investigative jurisdiction of the civil grand jury shall inform the foreperson and court of that fact and shall recuse himself or herself from participating in any grand jury civil investigation of that agency, including any discussion or vote concerning a civil investigation of that agency. The bill would provide that this provision shall be in addition to any local policies or rules regarding conflict of interest for grand jurors.
