Waiver by victim counselor of protections of chapter; disclosure of
confidential information
Sec. 11. A victim counselor may not waive the protections
afforded to a victim under this chapter. However, if:
(1) a victim brings suit against a victim counselor or victim
counseling center in which the victim counselor was employed
or served as a volunteer at the time of the counseling
relationship; and
(2) the suit alleges malpractice during the counseling
relationship;
the victim counselor may testify or produce records regarding
confidential communications with the victim and is not liable for
doing so.
