SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Juvenile records; gang information; exceptions to confidentiality.  Places an affirmative duty on the Department of Juvenile Justice to provide information to law enforcement that may aid in initiating or furthering an investigation of a criminal street gang. The bill also requires, rather than allows, the Department and locally operated court services unit to release to law enforcement information on a juvenile's criminal street gang involvement and the criminal street gang-related activity of others.  The Department is prohibited from releasing information on a juvenile who is not affiliated with a gang unless the information relates to a specific crime. The Department is required to provide information to the Organized Criminal Gang File maintained by the State Police.  The bill incorporates HB 254 and HB 255.  This bill is identical to SB 486.
