This amendment to House Bill No. 89 clarifies that communications made as part of the Home Improvement Dispute Resolution Process may be admitted as evidence for limited purposes in the discretion of the court in subsequent civil litigation, and further clarifies that they may only be admitted in a criminal case where there is a prosecution for perjury or giving a false statement or where the statement is being introduced as a prior inconsistent statement of a testifying defendant that may be used for the limited purpose of impeaching the defendant's credibility if it has been disclosed to the defense in discovery.
