A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

To amend Code Section 24-9-923 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to admissibility of photographs, motion pictures, video recordings, and audio recordings when witness unavailable, so as to provide that creative and artistic expression evidence is inadmissible at trial; to provide for a definition; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.

Code Section 24-9-923 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to admissibility of photographs, motion pictures, video recordings, and audio recordings when witness unavailable, is amended by revising subsection (b) as follows: "(b)(1) Subject to any other valid objection, photographs, motion pictures, video recordings, and audio recordings shall be admissible in evidence when necessitated by the unavailability of a witness who can provide personal authentication and when the court determines, based on competent evidence presented to the court, that such items tend to show reliably the fact or facts for which the items are offered.

(2) As used in this paragraph, the term 'creative or artistic expression' means the expression or application of creativity or imagination in the production or arrangement of forms, sounds, words, movements, or symbols, including music, dance, performance art, visual art, poetry, literature, film, and other such objects or media. Evidence deemed to be creative or artistic expression shall not be admissible."

SECTION 2.

All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
