Summary
The bill orders the Administrative Office of the Courts to provide a live internet broadcast of most open court hearings, trials and appearances, and to upload an audiovisual recording of each broadcast for at least one year. Courts may pause, stop, or withhold the stream when privacy, safety, or fairness concerns arise, and the rule does not apply to justice or juvenile courts.
