- Title
- Polygraph Examiners Board; polygraph device defined; computer voice stress analysis exempted
- Description
Under existing law, during a polygraph examination, a polygraph examiner must use an instrument that records visually, permanently, and simultaneously a subject's cardiovascular pattern, respiratory pattern, and galvanic skin response.
This bill would create the definition of a "polygraph device" and would specify that a polygraph device does not include equipment or devices used for the purpose of computer voice stress analysis.
This bill would also make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
