Qué contiene
Resumen con IA Spouses and former spouses normally cannot be forced to testify about private conversations they had while married. This law would change that by allowing these conversations to be used in court cases involving child neglect, abandonment, or child endangerment. Even with this change, a person still has the right to refuse to share those private details if they are called to testify. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1
Lea la explicación oficial (en inglés)
This bill relates to privileged communications between spouses. Under current law, a person cannot be examined in any case as to any communication made between the person and the person’s spouse while the person was married to the spouse. After the marriage relation ends, neither spouse is permitted to reveal in testimony any communication between the spouses made while they were married. Subject to certain provisions of law to the contrary relating to a child’s injuries and criminal prosecutions related to neglect, abandonment, nonsupport, and child endangerment, the bill permits a spouse or former spouse to be examined in such cases, but maintains that the spouse or former spouse cannot be required to be examined. If subpoenaed, a person may assert spousal privilege and refuse to reveal any information relating to a communication between the person and another person made while the person and the other person were married.
