SB 459: Peace officers: confidential communications: exceptions: group peer support services.

The bill aims to expand the definition of confidential communications in law enforcement settings. Currently, law enforcement personnel have the right to refuse to disclose and prevent others from disclosing confidential communications between them and peer support team members. The bill would authorize the disclosure of these communications in a juvenile delinquency proceeding. Additionally, the bill would give law enforcement personnel the right to refuse to disclose and prevent others from disclosing confidential communications between them and mental health professionals providing group peer support services. This expansion aims to protect sensitive information shared between law enforcement personnel and mental health professionals while still allowing for disclosure in certain circumstances.
