SR 34 would create a referendum to amend Article VI of the Constitution by creating state-wide grand juries that can be summoned and empaneled upon petition by the Attorney General to the Supreme Court. The jurisdiction of these juries would extend throughout the state, and they would be able to investigate and return indictments for crimes committed anywhere in the state. Their jurisdiction would also extend to investigating political corruption at all levels of state and local government. |
