A 8812 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the business records exception to hearsay

This bill amends rules for admitting business records as evidence in court. It adds specific requirements: records must be made in regular business operations, at or near the time of the event, and based on personal knowledge or accurate business transmission. Medical records must also relate directly to patient treatment. Electronic records are now explicitly admissible if they accurately represent the original, but issues with their creation only affect evidence weight, not admissibility. This affects courts, lawyers, and anyone submitting business or medical records as evidence.
