New York S02407 amends the criminal procedure law to release grand jury charges to the public upon request after a final decision.
New York S02407 amends the criminal procedure law to change how grand jury documents are released to the public. It specifies that the district attorney's legal instructions and charges submitted to the grand jury must be made available to the public upon request once the grand jury has reached a final decision on any charges. This change applies to all charges and legal instructions, with redactions only if there is a reasonable likelihood that public release would endanger any individual. The act takes effect immediately.
