Bill Summary
Relative to privileged abuse and protection communications. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to provide protections for privileged communications between attorneys, their assistants, and clients. Specifically, it exempts certain individuals, such as those retained by an attorney or employed by a legal service provider, from mandatory reporting requirements related to suspected abuse or neglect of the elderly, disabled, or children. The bill ensures that information learned in the course of assisting an attorney's representation of a client is not subject to these reporting obligations, preserving the confidentiality of attorney-client relationships.
