Existing law provides a grand jury can only receive evidence given by witnesses before them or furnished by legal documentary evidence and any witness may be examined and compelled to testify as to any offense within his or her knowledge.
This bill would prohibit any evidence derived from a polygraph examination or the fact a person did or did not take a polygraph examination from being admissible in grand jury proceedings.
