1. This section contains the substance of Draft Federal Evidence Rules 1-01 and 11-01 and Uniform Rule 2, insofar as applicable to Nevada and consistent with other Nevada law. NRS 172.135 requires in general the application of the law of evidence to proceedings before a grand jury. The extent to which, if at all, specific exceptions should be made relating to the evidence receivable by a grand jury should be considered in a separate bill.
