Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to the discovery of evidence in a criminal or postconviction relief action involving victims of sexual abuse.(Formerly SSB 3018.)
AI Summary
This bill proposes to apply the provisions of Rule of Evidence 5.412, which relates to the use of evidence involving victims of sexual abuse, to the discovery process in criminal cases and post-conviction relief proceedings. The bill requires defendants or applicants seeking to conduct discovery involving such evidence to comply with the same procedural requirements as those for offering the evidence at trial, including timelines, offers of proof, and in-camera hearings to determine the relevancy and probative value of the evidence. The bill also prohibits discovery of any evidence that would not be admissible at trial under Rule 5.412.
