Summary
The law requires that any conversation, note or record created during a peer‑support session for firefighters, EMTs, police, corrections staff, 911 dispatchers or ski patrollers be kept private. It bars public‑record requests and prevents the information from being used in court, except for serious safety or legal concerns. The measure aims to encourage responders to seek help after traumatic events without fear of exposure.
