 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Paragraph (c) of subdivision 1 of section 245.20 of the
 2 criminal procedure law, as amended by section 2 of part HHH of chapter
 3 56 of the laws of 2020, is amended to read as follows:
 4 (c) The names and adequate contact information for all persons other
 5 than law enforcement personnel whom the prosecutor knows to have
 6 evidence or information relevant to any offense charged or to any poten-
 7 tial defense thereto who have given affirmative consent for such disclo-
 8 sure of their contact information or have been denied a protective order
 9 pursuant to section 245.70 of this article, including a designation by
 10 the prosecutor as to which of those persons may be called as witnesses.
 11 Affirmative consent to disclose contact information shall be requested
 12 by law enforcement personnel conducting the initial interview of persons
 13 who have evidence or information relevant to any offense charged or to
 14 any potential defense thereto. A person who does not provide affirmative
 15 consent for disclosure of their contact information shall provide good
 16 cause for such denial, and the prosecution shall make a motion for a
 17 protective order pursuant to section 245.70 of this article on the
 18 behalf of such person. Nothing in this paragraph shall require the
 19 disclosure of physical addresses; provided, however, upon a motion and
 20 good cause shown the court may direct the disclosure of a physical
 21 address. Information under this subdivision relating to the identity of
 22 a 911 caller, the victim or witness of an offense defined under article
 23 one hundred thirty or section 230.34 or 230.34-a of the penal law, any
 24 other victim or witness of a crime where the defendant has substantiated
