   Section  1.  Paragraph  (c)  of subdivision 1 of section 245.20 of the
 criminal procedure law, as added by section 2 of part LLL of chapter  59
 of the laws of 2019, is amended to read as follows:
   (c)  The  names and adequate contact information for all persons other
 than law  enforcement  personnel  whom  the  prosecutor  knows  to  have
 evidence or information relevant to any offense charged or to any poten-
 tial  defense  thereto,  including a designation by the prosecutor as to

 LAW OR ORDINANCE. Nothing in this paragraph shall require the disclosure
 of  physical  addresses; provided, however, upon a motion and good cause
 shown the court may direct the disclosure of a physical address.  Infor-
 mation  under  this subdivision relating to a confidential informant may
 be withheld, and redacted from discovery materials, without need  for  a
 motion  pursuant  to section 245.70 of this article; but the prosecution
 shall notify the defendant in writing that such information has not been
 disclosed, unless the court rules otherwise for good cause shown.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however that if
 section 2 of part LLL of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019 shall  not  have
 taken  effect on or before such date, then section one of this act shall
 take effect on the same date and in the same manner as such section 2 of
 part LLL of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, takes effect.
