The probation director shall establish written policy and procedure to ensure that the court has sufficient time to read the report prior to court disposition/sentence and to make appropriate exceptions for disclosure purposes as follows:
Probation departments shall accumulate and transmit, at a minimum, once every three months, a copy of all pre-sentence reports prepared in the case of defendants who are known to be licensed pursuant to Title 8 of the Education Law to the State Department of Health if the licensee is a physician, a specialist's assistant, or a physician's assistant, and to the State Education Department with respect to all other such licenses. Such reports may be submitted in hard copy or electronically, and shall contain such other information as required by Criminal Procedure Law 390.50(6).
Accessibility of probation reports is limited to those authorized by law or court order, and as specified in part 348, DCJS's case record management rule.
