Criminal procedure.

Summary

The bill adds a new Penal Code section that obligates courts to issue protective orders for sexually explicit material involving adult victims in certain violent felonies. It bars attorneys from giving copies of that material to defendants, families, or others unless a judge approves it after a hearing showing good cause. The measure aims to prevent unnecessary copying or spread of harmful images while preserving the prosecution’s duty to share exculpatory evidence.
