SB 794: Juveniles: access and use of juvenile case files.

This bill aims to expand access to juvenile case files and related records. It would allow certain individuals to inspect and receive copies of these files, including members of parents' treatment teams and judges assigned to probate cases. The bill would also require child welfare agencies to permit individuals to inspect and receive copies of records within 2 weeks of their written request, after an investigation has been closed. Records or information related to family law or probate cases would be filed under seal. The bill would also allow attorneys to release records or information as necessary under certain circumstances and prohibit the attachment of juvenile case files to other documents without prior approval from the presiding judge.
