CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2025–2026 REGULAR SESSION Assembly Bill No. 2708 Introduced by Assembly Member Gabriel February 20, 2026 An act to amend Section 890 of the Penal Code, relating to grand juries. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 2708, as introduced, Gabriel. Grand juries. Under existing law, a grand jury is a body of the required number of persons chosen from the citizens of the county to serve before a court of competent jurisdiction, and sworn to inquire of public offenses that are committed or triable within the county. Existing law requires the fees for grand jurors to be $15 per each day’s attendance as a grand juror. This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that provision. Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO Bill Text The people of the State of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. Section 890 of the Penal Code is amended to read: 890. Unless a higher fee or rate of mileage is otherwise provided by statute or county or city and county ordinance, the fees for grand jurors are fifteen dollars ($15) a per day for each day’s attendance as a grand juror, and the mileage reimbursement applicable to county employees for each mile actually traveled in attending court as a grand juror.
