Description

Sealing psychological tests received into evidence.  Provides that a court may, upon motion, seal a psychological test or other assessment device received into evidence if the moving party establishes that (i) the value of the psychological test or assessment device depends in whole or in part on the subject lacking knowledge of the testing or assessment process and (ii) public access to such test or assessment device would compromise the objectivity, fairness, or integrity of the testing or assessment process. Such motion may be brought by either a party to the proceeding or a psychologist who used, administered, or prepared the test or assessment device and who was called to testify in the proceeding.
