Nebraska LB277 amends grand jury procedures for cases involving deaths during apprehension or custody.

Nebraska LB277 changes how grand juries operate in cases where someone dies during apprehension or while in law enforcement custody. It requires district courts to call a grand jury when a petition meets specific criteria, including a reference to the statute or team of officers to investigate. Law enforcement officers involved in the death cannot return to duty until the grand jury completes its investigation.
