SB 1056: Criminal procedure.

California · Senate · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified August 25, 2026

What SB 1056 does, verified August 25, 2026

The bill aims to protect adult victims in sexually explicit material cases by requiring a court to issue a protective order governing the disclosure of the material. This order would prevent unnecessary copying, transmission, or dissemination of the material. Attorneys are prohibited from disclosing the material to defendants, family members, or others unless permitted by the court after a hearing and good cause is shown. However, attorneys can disclose the material to employees or court-appointed assistants to assist in case preparation, but only if it's required and in accordance with the protective order. The bill does not relieve the prosecution of their duty to disclose relevant or exculpatory evidence and does not affect the admissibility of relevant evidence in court.
