CT HB05473

Authorizes prosecuting officials (Chief State's Attorney, Deputy Chief State's Attorney, or State's Attorney) to issue subpoenas compelling production of documents and property relevant to investigations of corruption, fraud in medical assistance programs, first-degree larceny, election law violations, and bribery.

Requires subpoenas to specify with reasonable particularity the property sought, allow reasonable compliance time, and cover only a reasonable period of time.

Allows prosecuting officials to request Superior Court judges grant immunity from prosecution to witnesses who produce property during investigations, protecting them from prosecution based on evidence derived from that production.

Requires written notice to any natural person when their medical records (including psychiatric and substance abuse treatment records) are subpoenaed, giving them standing to file a motion to quash.

Permits entities to file sealed motions to quash subpoenas, with in camera hearings conducted expeditiously before a judge who may quash or modify subpoenas for just cause or recognized legal privilege.
