(a) If a licensee who is retained as an expert witness enters into a nondisclosure agreement, that agreement shall not be construed to prevent the licensee from reporting a potential violation of the Geologist and Geophysicist Act to the board.
(b) This section shall not be construed to be, or act as, a waiver of any applicable attorney-client or attorney work product privileges.
Notes
Allows a geologist or geophysicist licensee serving as an expert witness to report a potential Geologist and Geophysicist Act violation to the board despite a nondisclosure agreement. Limits that rule by stating it does not constitute or operate as a waiver of any applicable attorney-client or attorney work-product privilege.
