SB341

SB341 revises criminal procedure by modifying witness testimony requirements for preliminary examinations and grand jury proceedings.

SB341 amends Nevada Revised Statutes to revise the rules for witness testimony in preliminary examinations and grand jury proceedings. It removes the option for witnesses to testify via audiovisual technology if "good cause otherwise exists," requiring instead that witnesses reside more than 100 miles away or be unable to attend due to a medical condition. The bill mandates that witnesses sign a sworn declaration at least 10 days before testifying and requires the State to file this declaration with the court five days before the proceeding.
