264                                              LAWS OF MARYLAND                                 [Ch. 2

(1)   BY MAIL, AT LEAST FIVE DAYS BEFORE THEIR
ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED; OR

(2)   IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY RULE.
(C) TERM MAY BE EXTENDED.

ON PETITION BY THE STATE'S ATTORNEY, A JUDGE OF
THE CIRCUIT COURT OF A COUNTY MAY ORDER A GRAND JURY
TO BE CONTINUED BEYOND ITS TERM TO CONDUCT A
PARTICULAR INVESTIGATION. A GRAND JURY CONTINUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION HAS EVERY POWER IT
ORIGINALLY HAD BUT IS LIMITED TO THE INVESTIGATION
SPECIFIED BY THE JUDGE. THE GRAND JURY SHALL CONTINUE
UNTIL ITS INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETED UNLESS DISCHARGED
SOONER BY THE JUDGE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language
derived from Art. 51, §21, which is proposed
for repeal.

The section has been substantively changed to
allow a court to excuse a jury "to reconvene
next Tuesday" without requiring mail
notification, if the jurors are told, at the
time of their excuse, when to return.

This section now allows notification of
jurors by means other than mail if the Rules
permit such notification.

Subsection (c) is new language derived from
Ch. 659, S.B. 174, Acts of 1973.

SUBTITLE 2. JUROR SELECTION.

THIS TITLE. THE COURT OF APPEALS FROM TIME TO TIME
MAY ADOPT RULES GOVERNING THE PROVISIONS AND THE
OPERATION OF PLANS FORMULATED UNDER THIS TITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 51, §4(a). The provision requiring the
devising of a plan is proposed for deletion,
since all plans are now in effect. The only
