S 8298 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Clarifies the definition of business records and the use of such records in grand jury proceedings

This bill clarifies which business records can be used as evidence in grand jury proceedings. It specifically allows records showing a person's communication usage (like phone/internet service records) and financial transactions (such as bank accounts) to be admitted. The bill also requires that any unrelated information in these records must be redacted or excluded from consideration by the grand jury. This applies directly to law enforcement and prosecutors gathering evidence during investigations.
