CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 781 - This act provides that the circuit judge hearing an application for witness immunity shall hold a nonadversarial hearing to determine whether sufficient proof has been offered to justify the issuance of an order granting witness immunity. The act deletes language which disqualified the judge hearing such matter from any further criminal trial or ancillary proceeding.
