HB 353 -- ADMISSIBILITY OF EVIDENCE
SPONSOR: Christofanelli
This bill establishes the "Restoring Artistic Protection Act of 2023", which specifies that, subject to exceptions provided in the bill, evidence of a defendant's creative or artistic expression, defined in the bill, whether original or derivative, is not admissible against the defendant in a criminal case. If the court admits any such evidence, the court must ensure that the expression is redacted in a manner to limit the evidence presented to the jury and the court must provide appropriate limiting instructions to the jury.
