Relates to requiring affirmative consent for the disclosure of contact information of witnesses to a defendant

Summary

The bill changes New York criminal procedure law so prosecutors may share a witness's name and contact details with a defendant only if the witness gives explicit consent. If a witness refuses, they must show good cause and the prosecutor must seek a protective order. It also limits disclosure of physical addresses and automatically withholds certain sensitive information.
