Model Legislation
California AB2799
Decriminalizing Artists Expression Act
Health and Human Services (HHS) Committee
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.
