2notification of the victim of a child's delinquent act of the name and age of the

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a victim of a child's delinquent act may obtain the names
of the child and the child's parents only with the approval of the court assigned to
exercise jurisdiction under the children's code (juvenile court). This bill requires the
juvenile court clerk to disclose to the victim of a child's delinquent act the name and
age of the child and the names of the child's parents within 5 days after the child's
dispositional order is entered. Under the bill, no other information from the child's
juvenile court record may be disclosed to the victim except by order of the juvenile
court and the victim may further disclose the name and age of the child and the
names of the child's parents only for the purpose of recovering for any injury, loss or
damage suffered by the victim as a result of the child's act.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
