Arizona HB2711 amends the silent witness program to protect records from disclosure.
Arizona HB2711 amends the silent witness program to ensure that records of communications submitted to the program remain confidential and are not public records. These records can only be disclosed under specific circumstances, such as when a defendant in a criminal trial files a motion asserting that their conviction was overturned due to the record, or when a plaintiff in a civil action claims that withholding the record nullifies a valid cause of action. The court may review these records in camera to determine their relevance.
