NRS 172.047 Grand jury impaneled for specific limited purpose. A district judge may impanel a grand jury to
inquire into a specific limited matter among those set forth in NRS 172.175. In that case, the judge shall
charge the grand jury as to its limited duties and give it such information as
the judge deems necessary. A grand jury that is impaneled for a specific
limited purpose shall not inquire into matters not related to that purpose. A
grand jury impaneled for a specific limited purpose may be discharged after the
grand jury completes its investigation and submits its report. If the grand
jury has not completed its investigation and submitted its report within 1 year
after it was impaneled, it shall, in a closed hearing, show cause to the judge
why it should not be discharged. If the judge determines that it is in the
public interest for the grand jury to continue its investigation, the grand
jury may continue for a period which does not exceed 1 year.
