SB 67 Confidentiality of juvenile information.

Introduced by: Robert L. Calhoun | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Confidentiality of juvenile information. Provides that a judge, where public interest requires, must make available to the public identifying information on a juvenile who is on parole (aftercare) following an adjudication of delinquency for an act which would be a Class 1, 2 or 3 felony, forcible rape or robbery if committed by an adult or if the juvenile is sentenced as an adult in circuit court. This provision supplants the current law allowing him to release such information on certain "felony" delinquents if the public interest requires.

The bill also gives the Department of Youth and Family Services and locally operated court service units, in addition to the Commonwealth's attorney, standing to petition the court for the release of information on a juvenile escapee. The Department or court service unit must give notice to the Commonwealth's attorneys of their petition.
