State of California – AB 2799: Decriminalizing Artists Expression Act | Asm. Jones-Sawyer (CA)

Introduction

AB 2799 will protect against the biased use of creative expression (such as art, music lyrics, film, and novels) as evidence in a trial. This bill will require courts to evaluate whether creative expression can be used as evidence, and require this evaluation to take place pre-trial, away from the jury.
