§ 60-3358 Effect on other privileges.

This rule makes clear that the audit privilege law does not change or weaken any other legal privileges that already exist. If a company shares a self-evaluative audit document under this law, that action does not affect other protections it may have, like attorney-client privilege or attorney work product protection.

In simple terms, this rule is a safety net. It tells courts and parties that using this specific audit privilege law does not mean a company gives up its other legal rights or protections. Each privilege still works on its own, separate from the others.

This matters because companies sometimes worry that sharing one type of protected document might accidentally open the door to sharing other protected information too. This rule removes that worry. It confirms that using the audit privilege law does not create a loophole that weakens other legal protections a business or person might have in a lawsuit.
