Confidentiality
(a) Confidentiality of Proceedings, Records and Reports. Every proceeding before the board and the court shall be conducted in private with only such persons in attendance as have a direct involvement in the proceeding; provided, however, that the court may permit the attendance at any board or court proceeding of any person who has an interest in the work of the board or of the court so long as such person shall agree not to record, disclose or publish the names, photographs or other identifying data with respect to any of the participants in the proceeding except as expressly authorized by the court. All records and reports of the board and of the court shall be strictly safeguarded from public inspection; provided, however, that the court may for good cause permit inspection of such records or reports.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
