This version represents the final enrolled act after removal of all legislative procedural materials. The changes eliminate the appendix containing committee reports and proposed amendments that would have created new redaction requirements for child victims and witnesses in criminal proceedings, removed provisions governing how redacted names should be handled and probable cause affidavit procedures, and deleted an entire framework for regulating depositions of child victims in sex offense cases (including age-based definitions and protective procedural prerequisites). The only substantive addition is a new requirement for courts to issue protective orders under Trial Rule 26(C) when applicable. The preamble updates reflect standard bill progression from engrossed to enrolled status, with removal of digest and legislative history.
