(B) WHEN MATERIAL OR INFORMATION IS DISCOVERABLE UNDER THIS ARTICLE BUT CANNOT BE DISCLOSED BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN LOST OR DESTROYED, THE COURT SHALL IMPOSE AN APPROPRIATE REMEDY OR SANCTION IF THE PARTY ENTITLED TO DISCLOSURE SHOWS THAT THE LOST OR DESTROYED MATERIAL MAY HAVE CONTAINED SOME INFORMATION RELEVANT TO A CONTESTED ISSUE. THE APPROPRIATE REMEDY OR SANCTION IS THAT WHICH IS PROPORTIONATE TO THE POTENTIAL WAYS IN WHICH THE LOST OR DESTROYED MATERIAL REASONABLY COULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL TO THE PARTY ENTITLED TO DISCLOSURE. 2.

CONSEQUENCES OF NON-DISCLOSURE OF STATEMENT OF TESTIFYING PROSE- CUTION WITNESS. THE FAILURE OF THE PROSECUTOR OR ANY AGENT OF THE PROSE- CUTOR TO DISCLOSE ANY WRITTEN OR RECORDED STATEMENT MADE BY A PROSE- CUTION WITNESS WHICH RELATES TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE WITNESS'S TESTIMONY SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE GROUNDS FOR ANY COURT TO ORDER A NEW PRE-TRIAL HEARING OR SET ASIDE A CONVICTION, OR REVERSE, MODIFY OR VACATE A JUDGMENT OF CONVICTION, IN THE ABSENCE OF A SHOWING BY THE DEFENDANT THAT THERE IS A REASONABLE POSSIBILITY THAT THE NON-DISCLOSURE MATERIALLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE RESULT OF THE TRIAL OR OTHER PROCEEDING; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT OR LIMIT ANY RIGHT THE DEFENDANT MAY HAVE TO A REOPENED PRE-TRIAL HEARING WHEN SUCH STATEMENTS WERE DISCLOSED BEFORE THE CLOSE OF EVIDENCE AT TRIAL. S. 1716 16 A. 1431 § 245.85 ADMISSIBILITY OF DISCOVERY.

Where a prosecutor has not timely served a written refusal pursuant to subdivision four of this section the court must, unless it is satisfied that the people have shown good cause why such an order should not be issued, issue an order requiring the prosecutor to comply or providing for any other order authorized by [subdivision one of section 240.70] SECTION 245.80 OF THIS PART. § 6. Paragraph (c) of subdivision 1 of section 255.10 of the criminal procedure law, as added by chapter 763 of the laws of 1974, is amended to read as follows: (c) granting discovery pursuant to article [240] 245; or § 7.

(d) If the court finds that a party has failed to comply with any of the provisions of this section, the court may [enter] EMPLOY any of the [orders] REMEDIES OR SANCTIONS specified in subdivision one of section [240.70] 245.80 OF THIS PART. § 10. The opening paragraph of paragraph (b) of subdivision 1 of section 440.30 of the criminal procedure law, as added by chapter 19 of the laws of 2012, is amended to read as follows: In conjunction with the filing or consideration of a motion to vacate a judgment pursuant to section 440.10 of this article by a defendant convicted after a trial, in cases where the court has ordered an eviden- tiary hearing upon such motion, the court may order that the people S. 1716 19 A. 1431 produce or make available for inspection property[, as defined in subdi- vision three of section 240.10 of this part,] in its possession, custo- dy, or control that was secured in connection with the investigation or prosecution of the defendant upon credible allegations by the defendant and a finding by the court that such property, if obtained, would be probative to the determination of defendant's actual innocence, and that the request is reasonable. The court shall deny or limit such a request upon a finding that such a request, if granted, would threaten the integrity or chain of custody of property or the integrity of the proc- esses or functions of a laboratory conducting DNA testing, pose a risk of harm, intimidation, embarrassment, reprisal, or other substantially negative consequences to any person, undermine the proper functions of law enforcement including the confidentiality of informants, or on the basis of any other factor identified by the court in the interests of justice or public safety. The court shall further ensure that any prop- erty produced pursuant to this paragraph is subject to a protective order, where appropriate. The court shall deny any request made pursuant to this paragraph where: § 11. Subdivision 10 of section 450.10 of the penal law, as added by chapter 795 of the laws of 1984, is amended to read as follows: 10. Where there has been a failure to comply with the provisions of this section, and where the district attorney does not demonstrate to the satisfaction of the court that such failure has not caused the defendant prejudice, the court shall instruct the jury that it may consider such failure in determining the weight to be given such evidence and may also impose any other sanction set forth in subdivision one of section [240.70] 245.80 of the criminal procedure law; provided, however, that unless the defendant has convinced the court that such failure has caused him undue prejudice, the court shall not preclude the district attorney from introducing into evidence the property, photo- graphs, photocopies, or other reproductions of the property or, where appropriate, testimony concerning its value and condition, where such evidence is otherwise properly authenticated and admissible under the rules of evidence. Failure to comply with any one or more of the provisions of this section shall not for that reason alone be grounds for dismissal of the accusatory instrument. § 12. Section 460.80 of the penal law, as added by chapter 516 of the laws of 1986, is amended to read as follows: § 460.80 Court ordered disclosure. Notwithstanding the provisions of article two hundred [forty] FORTY- FIVE of the criminal procedure law, when forfeiture is sought pursuant to section 460.30 of this [chapter] ARTICLE, the court may order discov- ery of any property not otherwise disclosed which is material and reasonably necessary for preparation by the defendant with respect to the forfeiture proceeding pursuant to such section. The court may issue a protective order denying, limiting, conditioning, delaying or regulat- ing such discovery where a danger to the integrity of physical evidence or a substantial risk of physical harm, intimidation, economic reprisal, bribery or unjustified annoyance or embarrassment to any person or an adverse effect upon the legitimate needs of law enforcement, including the protection of the confidentiality of informants, or any other factor or set of factors outweighs the usefulness of the discovery. § 13. Subdivision 5 of section 480.10 of the penal law, as added by chapter 655 of the laws of 1990, is amended to read as follows: 5. In addition to information required to be disclosed pursuant to article two hundred [forty] FORTY-FIVE of the criminal procedure law, S. 1716 20 A. 1431 when forfeiture is sought pursuant to this article, and following the defendant's arraignment on the special forfeiture information, the court shall order discovery of any information not otherwise disclosed which is material and reasonably necessary for preparation by the defendant with respect to a forfeiture proceeding brought pursuant to this arti- cle. Such material shall include those portions of the grand jury minutes and such other information which pertain solely to the special forfeiture information and shall not include information which pertains to the criminal charges. Upon application of the prosecutor, the court may issue a protective order pursuant to section [240.40] 245.70 of the criminal procedure law with respect to any information required to be disclosed pursuant to this subdivision. § 14. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall have become a law; provided, however, the amendments to section 65.20 of the criminal procedure law made by section four of this act shall not affect the repeal of such section and shall be deemed repealed there- with.
