Bill > SB1056

This bill, in criminal procedure, requires courts in cases involving sexually explicit material depicting or involving an adult victim to issue a protective order to prevent unnecessary copying, transmission, or dissemination of such material. It prohibits attorneys from disclosing this material to defendants, their families, or others without specific court permission after a hearing and a showing of good cause. However, attorneys can share this material with their employees or court-appointed assistants if necessary for case preparation, but only under the terms of the protective order, and those receiving the material must be informed that further dissemination is prohibited unless permitted by law or court order. The bill clarifies that this does not relieve the prosecution of its duty to disclose any relevant or exculpatory evidence, nor does it affect the admissibility of evidence in court.
