(2) THE STATE'S ATTORNEY FOR BALTIMORE CITY OR AN ASSISTANT
STATE'S ATTORNEY FOR BALTIMORE CITY:
(I) AT THE REQUEST OF A GRAND JURY, MAY ATTEND ANY OF ITS
SESSIONS; BUT
(II) MAY NOT BE PRESENT WHEN THE GRAND JURY VOTES ON AN
INDICTMENT OR PRESENTMENT.
COMMITTEE NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new language derived
from former CJ § 2-503(c) and the former first clause of revised Public
Local Laws, Art. 16 [Montgomery County], § 12-23.
Subsection (b) of this section is new and added for completeness.
Subsection (c) of this section is new language derived without substantive
change from the former third sentence of Public Local Laws, Art. 4
[Baltimore City], §. 7-7, as it related to the State's Attorney and
assistants. The codification of the Baltimore City provision here is merely
for convenience and is not intended, by reenactment of a single provision,
to alter any law with regard to presence at grand juries in other counties.
In subsection (a) of this section, reference to a reporter "order[ed]" to take
testimony is substituted for the former references to being "appointed
under this section" and "duly appointed and qualified as herein provided",
to conform to revised CJ § 2-503, which contemplates the designation of a
grand jury reporter from among court reporters regularly employed by or
under contract with a circuit court, instead of appointment by a jury judge.
As to a jury judge, see revised CJ § 8-204.
The first clause of the former Public Local Laws, Art. 1 [Allegany City], §
32-6G, which allowed a reporter to attend "upon and at the special request
of the circuit court for Allegany and Garrett counties", the former third
sentence of Public Local Laws, Art. 4 [Baltimore City], § 7-7, which
allowed a reporter to attend but "not ... when the grand jury votes on any
presentment or indictment", and former Public Local Laws, Art. 14
[Howard County], § 7.303, as it allowed a reporter to attend "[a]t every
session ... and whenever requested by the grand jury, or the State's.
Attorney", are deleted..
8-415. OATHS.
(A) GRAND JUROR
EACH GRAND JUROR SHALL TAKE AN OATH IN SUBSTANTIALLY THE
FOLLOWING FORM:
"I (SWEAR/AFFIRM) TO ACT DILIGENTLY AND ACCORDING TO MY BEST
UNDERSTANDING WITH REGARD TO ALL MATTERS BEFORE THE GRAND
JURY; EXCEPT AS LAWFULLY ORDERED BY THIS COURT OR AS EXPRESSLY
AUTHORIZED BY LAW, NOT TO DISCLOSE WILLFULLY ANY EVIDENCE
GIVEN BEFORE THE GRAND JURY, ANYTHING THAT I OR ANOTHER GRAND
