Existing law, known as the hearsay rule, provides that, at a hearing, evidence of a statement that was made other than by a witness while testifying at the hearing and that is offered to prove the truth of the matter stated is inadmissible. Existing law also provides exceptions to the hearsay rule to permit the admission of specified kinds of evidence. This bill would specify that evidence of a record, which meets certain requirements relating to the subpoena of business records, that is received by an investigating officer pursuant to a search warrant or subpoena is not made inadmissible by the hearsay rule against the defendant at a preliminary hearing in a criminal action.
