    (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)
    Sec. 90. Privileged communications and exceptions.
    (a) No licensed professional music therapist shall disclose any information acquired from persons consulting the therapist in a professional capacity, except that which may be voluntarily disclosed under any of the following circumstances:
        (1) In the course of formally reporting, conferring, or consulting with administrative
    
superiors, colleagues, or consultants who share professional responsibility, in which instance all recipients of the information are similarly bound to regard the communication as privileged.
        (2) With the written consent of the person who provided the information and about whom
    
the information concerns.
        (3) In the case of death or disability, with the written consent of a personal
    
representative.
        (4) When a communication reveals the intended commission of a crime or harmful act and
    
the disclosure is judged necessary in the professional judgment of the licensed professional music therapist to protect any person from a clear risk of serious mental or physical harm or injury or to forestall a serious threat to the public safety.
        (5) When the person waives the privilege by bringing any public charges or filing a
    
lawsuit against the licensee.
    (b) Any person having access to records or anyone who participates in providing music therapy services, or in providing any human services, or is supervised by a licensed professional music therapist is similarly bound to regard all information and communications as privileged in accord with this Section.
