AB345,1,2 1An Act to amend 48.396 (2m) of the statutes; relating to: disclosure of certain
2information concerning a child who has been adjudicated delinquent.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, subject to certain exceptions, records of the court assigned
to exercise jurisdiction under the children's code (juvenile court) are not open to
inspection and their contents may not be disclosed except by order of the juvenile
court. Current law, however, requires a juvenile court, on request, to disclose to the
requester the name and age of a child who has been adjudicated delinquent for
committing first-degree or 2nd-degree reckless or intentional homicide, felony
murder, first-degree or 2nd-degree sexual assault or armed robbery, the nature of
the violation committed by the child and the disposition imposed on the child as a
result of that violation. The requester may further disclose the information to
anyone. This bill requires a juvenile court, on request, to disclose that information
concerning a child who has been adjudicated delinquent for committing any
violation.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
