190.70  Grand  jury;  direction  to file prosecutor's information and
           related matters.
1.  Except in a case submitted to it pursuant  to  the  provisions  of
  section 170.25, a grand jury may direct the district attorney to file in
  a local criminal court a prosecutor's information charging a person with
  an  offense  other  than  a  felony  when  (a) the evidence before it is
  legally sufficient to establish that such person committed such offense,
  and (b) competent and admissible evidence before it provides  reasonable
  cause to believe that such person committed such offense.  In such case,
  the  grand  jury  must, through its foreman or acting foreman, file such
  direction with the court by which it was impaneled.
2.  Such direction must be signed by the foreman  or  acting  foreman.
  It   must   contain  a  plain  and  concise  statement  of  the  conduct
  constituting the offense  to  be  charged,  equivalent  in  content  and
  precision  to  the  factual  statement  required  to  be contained in an
  indictment pursuant to subdivision seven of section 200.50.  Subject  to
  the  rules prescribed in sections 200.20 and 200.40 governing joinder in
  a single indictment of multiple offenses and multiple  defendants,  such
  grand  jury  direction may, where appropriate, specify multiple offenses
  of less than felony grade and multiple defendants, and may  direct  that
  the  prospective prosecutor's information charge a single defendant with
  multiple offenses, or multiple defendants jointly with either  a  single
  offense or multiple offenses.
3.    Upon  the  filing  of such grand jury direction, the court must,
  unless such direction is  insufficient  on  its  face,  issue  an  order
  approving such direction and ordering the district attorney to file such
  a  prosecutor's  information in a designated local criminal court having
  trial jurisdiction of the offense or offenses in question.
