SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Confidentiality of Department of Juvenile Justice records. Provides that a person who has reached the age of majority and requests his Department of Juvenile Justice records has access to those records even if he was not a ward of the Department. The bill also expands the Department's authority to withhold information contained in its records from inspection by the child's parent or guardian when Department staff determine that disclosure would be detrimental to a third party. Currently, the Department is able to withhold these records only when the disclosure would be detrimental to the child.
