Clarifies the definition of business records and the use of such records in grand jury proceedings.

The bill amends the criminal procedure law to clarify the definition of business records and their use in grand jury proceedings. It specifies that business records generated by a business entity can be used as evidence in grand jury proceedings for certain facts, such as a person's use of communication equipment and services, and financial transactions. The bill also mandates that any extraneous material in such records must be redacted or subject to a limiting instruction, ensuring the grand jury does not consider it for any criminal charge. This act takes effect immediately.
