State's attorneys must disclose all exculpatory information to defendants within 30 days after a defendant enters a not guilty plea, and must promptly disclose any additional exculpatory evidence discovered before or during trial.

Prosecutors may request an ex parte in camera hearing before a judge (other than the trial judge) to determine whether material is exculpatory.

Peace officers must disclose all investigative information in writing to the prosecutorial official, including arrest reports, witness statements, officer notes, test results, and other evidence obtained during the investigation.

Law enforcement agency heads must provide the prosecutorial official with an itemized list of disclosed information and a written acknowledgment that all relevant information has been disclosed to the best of their knowledge.

For defendants charged with felonies offered plea agreements, prosecutors must provide all discoverable information before any deadline to accept or reject the plea, unless the defendant waives this right.
