Reports and Responses

Overview

A Civil Grand Jury report details a single investigation. Each report lists findings and recommendations. The responsible organization is notified and is required to respond to the report.

The California Penal Code Section 933(c) specifies response times.

• Public Agencies. The governing body of any public agency (also referring to a department) must respond within 90 days from the release of the report to the public.
• Elective Officers or Agency Heads. All elected officers or heads of agencies/departments are required to respond within 60 days of the release of the report to the public.
• Failure to Respond. Failure to respond, as required to a Jury report, violates California Penal Code Section 933.05 and is subject to further action that may include additional investigation on the subject matter of the report by the Jury.
