4-4-12 Protective orders; Hearings A. A protective order shall apply to any person, except as designated
by Court order. The purpose of the protective order is to allow the

respondents will remain privileged and confidential and will not be
divulged to any other person, including law enforcement officers
and the prosecutor. B. At any stage of a proceeding under [this Chapter] and upon the
request of the respondent’s attorney or lay advocate, the Court may
issue a protective order restricting the release of immunized
testimony, immunized verbal statements for the purpose of
psychological evaluation or treatment, or records, documents or
other physical objects produced by an immunized respondent
pursuant to a Court order. C. The respondent’s attorney shall apply for the protective order,
request a hearing, and give reasonable notice to all parties and to
the prosecutor. The prosecutor shall have standing to object to the
protective order. D. After the hearing, the Court may issue a protective order, if
issuance of the order will reasonably assist in the delivery of
diagnostic and therapeutic services to the respondent and the
respondent is otherwise likely to refuse to make statements on the
basis of [any] privilege against self-incrimination.
