Bill Title: Amends the Code of Civil Procedure. Provides an additional circumstance when the confidential nature of counseling records is not waived: in the case of an adult who has a guardian of his person, if the guardian inspects the records with the victim's consent. Provides that an adult victim who has a guardian of his or her person may knowingly waive the rape crisis statement privilege, but if the adult victim is, in the court's opinion, incapable of knowingly waiving the privilege, the guardian of the adult victim may waive the privilege, unless the guardian is charged with a violent crime against the victim or otherwise has an adverse interest to the victim with respect to the privilege.
