7324     jury, or request to appear personally before the grand jury to testify or present evidence to that
7325     body. The attorney for the state or the special prosecutor shall forward the request to the grand
7326     jury.
7327          (c) When the attorney for the state or the special prosecutor is personally aware of

7346     need so orders.
7347          (e) Any confinement for refusal to comply with an order to testify or produce other
7348     information shall continue until the witness is willing to give the testimony or provide the
7349     information. A period of confinement may not exceed the term of the grand jury, including
7350     extensions, before which the refusal to comply with the order occurred. In any event the

7360     to be frivolous or taken for delay. Any appeal from an order of confinement under this section
7361     shall be disposed of as soon as practicable, pursuant to an expedited schedule and in no event
7362     more than 30 days from the filing of the appeal.
7363          (7) (a) All proceedings, except when the grand jury is deliberating or voting, shall be
7364     recorded stenographically or by an electronic recording device. An unintentional failure of any
7365     recording to reproduce all or any portion of a proceeding does not affect the validity of any
7366     prosecution or indictment. The recording or reporter's notes or any transcript prepared from
7367     them shall remain in the custody or control of the attorney for the state or the special prosecutor
7368     unless otherwise ordered by the managing judge in a particular case.
7369          (b) A grand juror, an interpreter, a court reporter, an operator of a recording device, a

7380     [him] the attorney in the performance of [his] the attorney's duty to enforce the state's criminal
7381     laws.
7382          (d) Any person to whom matters are disclosed under this section may not utilize that
7383     grand jury material for any purpose other than assisting the attorney for the state or the special
7384     prosecutor in performance of that attorney's duty to enforce the state's criminal laws. An
7385     attorney for the state or the special prosecutor shall promptly provide the managing judge with
7386     the names of the persons to whom the disclosure has been made and shall certify that the
7387     attorney has advised the person of [his] the person's obligation of secrecy under this section.
7388          (e) Disclosure otherwise prohibited by this section of matters occurring before the

7392     preliminary to or in connection with a judicial proceeding;
7393          (ii) permitted by the managing judge at the request of the defendant, upon a showing
7394     that grounds may exist for a motion to dismiss the indictment because of matters occurring
7395     before the grand jury;
7396          (iii) the disclosure is made by an attorney for the state or the special prosecutor to
7397     another state or local grand jury or a federal grand jury;

7399     special prosecutor, upon a showing that the matters may disclose a violation of federal criminal
7400     law, to an appropriate official of the federal government for the purpose of enforcing federal
7401     law; or
7402          (v) showing of special need is made and the managing judge is satisfied that disclosure
7403     of the information or matters is essential for the preparation of a defense.
7404          (f) When the matters are transcripts of testimony given by witnesses[,] the state or
7405     special prosecutor intends to call in the state's case in chief in any trial upon an indictment

7406     returned by the grand jury before which the witnesses testified, the attorney for the state or the
7407     special prosecutor shall, no later than 30 days before trial, provide the defendant with access to
7408     the transcripts. The attorney for the state or the special prosecutor shall at the same time
7409     provide the defendant with access to all exculpatory evidence presented to the grand jury prior
7410     to indictment.
7411          (g) When the managing judge orders disclosure of matters occurring before the grand

7413     directs.
7414          (h) A petition for disclosure made under Subsection (7)(e)(ii) shall be filed with the
7415     managing judge. Unless the hearing is ex parte, the petitioner shall serve written notice upon
7416     the attorney for the state or the special prosecutor, the parties to the judicial proceeding if
7417     disclosure is sought in connection with the proceeding, and other persons as the managing
7418     judge directs. The managing judge shall afford those persons a reasonable opportunity to
7419     appear and be heard.
7420          (8) Records, orders, and subpoenas relating to grand jury proceedings shall be kept
7421     under seal to the extent and so long as necessary to prevent disclosure of matters occurring
7422     before the grand jury other than as provided in this section.
7423          (9) Subject to any right to an open hearing in contempt proceedings, the managing
7424     judge shall order a hearing on matters affecting a grand jury proceeding to be closed to the
7425     extent necessary to prevent disclosure of matters occurring before a grand jury.

7436          (2) When notice is given under Subsection (1), the court raises the issue, or a motion is

7437     filed regarding Section 77-15a-101, the court may stay all proceedings in order to address the
7438     issue.
7439          (3) (a) The court shall order the Department of Human Services to appoint at least two

7442          (ii) shall have expertise in [mental retardation] intellectual disability assessment.
7443          (b) Upon appointment of the experts, the defendant or other party as directed by the
7444     court shall provide information and materials to the examiners relevant to a determination of
7445     the defendant's [mental retardation] intellectual disability, including copies of the charging
7446     document, arrest or incident reports pertaining to the charged offense, known criminal history
7447     information, and known prior mental health evaluations and treatments.
7448          (c) The court may make the necessary orders to provide the information listed in
7449     Subsection (3)(b) to the examiners.
7450          (d) The court may provide in its order appointing the examiners that custodians of

7452     without the need for consent of the defendant or further order of the court.
7453          (e) Prior to examining the defendant, examiners shall specifically advise the defendant

7465     specified in Subsection 77-15a-101(2); and
7466          (d) the degree of any [mental deficiencies] intellectual disability the expert finds to
7467     exist.

7468          (6) (a) The experts examining the defendant shall provide written reports to the court,
7469     the prosecution, and the defense within 60 days of the receipt of the court's order, unless the

7471     (6)(c).
7472          (b) The reports shall provide to the court and to prosecution and defense counsel the

7475          (c) If an examiner requests of the court additional time, the examiner shall provide the
7476     report to the court and counsel within 90 days from the receipt of the court's order unless, for
7477     good cause shown, the court authorizes an additional period of time to complete the
7478     examination and provide the report.
7479          (7) Any written report submitted by an expert shall:
7480          (a) identify the specific matters referred for evaluation;

7489     prosecuting attorney proposes to call in rebuttal.
7490          (9) (a) Except pursuant to Section 77-15a-105, this chapter does not prevent any party

7499          (11) (a) When the report is received, the court shall set a date for a hearing to
7500     determine if the exemption under Section 77-15a-101 applies. The hearing shall be held and
7501     the judge shall make the determination within a reasonable time prior to jury selection.
7502          (b) Prosecution and defense counsel may subpoena to testify at the hearing any person
7503     or organization appointed by the Department of Human Services to conduct the examination
7504     and any independent examiner.
7505          (c) The court may call any examiner to testify at the hearing who is not called by the

7507     examiner.
7508          (12) (a) A defendant is presumed [to be not mentally retarded] not to be intellectually
7509     disabled unless the court, by a preponderance of the evidence, finds the defendant to be
7510     [mentally retarded] intellectually disabled. The burden of proof is upon the proponent of
7511     [mental retardation] intellectual disability at the hearing.
7512          (b) A finding of [mental retardation] intellectual disability does not operate as an
7513     adjudication of [mental retardation] intellectual disability for any purpose other than exempting
7514     the person from a sentence of death in the case before the court.
7515          (13) (a) The defendant is presumed not to possess the mental deficiencies listed in
7516     Subsection 77-15a-101(2) unless the court, by a preponderance of the evidence, finds that the
7517     defendant has significant subaverage general intellectual functioning that exists concurrently
7518     with significant deficiencies in adaptive functioning and that this functioning was manifested
7519     prior to age 22. The burden of proof is upon the proponent of that proposition.
7520          (b) If the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant has
7521     significant subaverage general intellectual functioning that exists concurrently with significant
7522     deficiencies in adaptive functioning and that this functioning was manifested prior to age 22,
7523     then the burden is upon the state to establish that any confession by the defendant which the
7524     state intends to introduce into evidence is supported by substantial evidence independent of the
7525     confession.
7526          (14) (a) If the court finds the defendant [mentally retarded] intellectually disabled, it
7527     shall issue an order:
7528          (i) containing findings of fact and conclusions of law, and addressing each of the
7529     factors in Subsections (5)(a) and (b); and

7530          (ii) stating that the death penalty is not a sentencing option in the case before the court.
7531          (b) If the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant possesses
7532     the mental deficiencies listed in Subsection 77-15a-101(2) and that the state fails to establish
7533     that any confession is supported by substantial evidence independent of the confession, the
7534     state may proceed with its case and:
7535          (i) introduce the confession into evidence, and the death penalty will not be a
7536     sentencing option in the case; or
7537          (ii) not introduce into evidence any confession or the fruits of a confession that the
7538     court has found is not supported by substantial evidence independent of the confession, and the
7539     death penalty will be a sentencing option in the case.
7540          (c) (i) A finding by the court regarding whether the defendant qualifies for an
7541     exemption under Section 77-15a-101 is a final determination of that issue for purposes of this
7542     chapter.
7543          (ii) The following questions may not be submitted to the jury by instruction, special
7544     verdict, argument, or other means:
7545          (A) whether the defendant is [mentally retarded] intellectually disabled for purposes of
7546     this chapter; and
7547          (B) whether the defendant possesses the mental deficiencies specified in Subsection
7548     77-15a-101(2).
7549          (iii) This chapter does not prevent the defendant from submitting evidence of
7550     [retardation] intellectual disability or other mental deficiency to establish a mental condition as
7551     a mitigating circumstance under Section 76-3-207.
7552          (15) A ruling by the court that the defendant is exempt from the death penalty may be
7553     appealed by the state pursuant to Section 77-18a-1.
7554          (16) Failure to comply with this section does not result in the dismissal of criminal
7555     charges.

7689     jail release court order.
7690          (b) If a court dismisses the charges for the qualifying offense that gave rise to a jail

7692     or jail release court order.
7693          (13) In addition to the provisions of Subsections (3) through (12), because of the
7694     unique and highly emotional nature of domestic violence crimes, the high recidivism rate of
7695     violent offenders, and the demonstrated increased risk of continued acts of violence subsequent
7696     to the release of an offender who has been arrested for domestic violence, it is the finding of
7697     the Legislature that domestic violence crimes, as defined in Section 77-36-1, are crimes for
7698     which bail may be denied if there is substantial evidence to support the charge, and if the court
7699     finds by clear and convincing evidence that the alleged perpetrator would constitute a
7700     substantial danger to an alleged victim of domestic violence if released on bail.
7701          (14) The provisions of this section do not apply if the person arrested for the qualifying
7702     offense is a minor, unless the qualifying offense is domestic violence.

7707     remitted, the clerk with whom it is deposited or paid shall, immediately after final adjournment
7708     of the court, pay over the money forfeited as follows:
7709          (1) the forfeited bail in cases in or appealed from district courts shall be distributed as

7711          (2) the forfeited bail in cases in precinct justice courts or in municipal justice courts
7712     shall be distributed as provided in Sections 78A-7-120 and 78A-7-121;

7747          (b) The officer shall identify himself or herself and state the purpose for entering the
