New York S05824 allows attorneys for incarcerated individuals to obtain confidential hearing records for certain proceedings, but prohibits.
New York S05824 amends the correction law by adding a new provision that allows attorneys representing incarcerated individuals in appeals of disciplinary proceedings or related lawsuits to obtain a copy of the entire hearing record. However, the bill prohibits these attorneys from redisclosing the records or any information contained within them to any person not otherwise authorized by law. The bill also allows for the redaction of confidential informants' names, identification numbers, housing locations, or work assignments from the hearing records. This act takes effect immediately.
