SB413 — SB 413 is introduced and presented by Senator Allen as a bill to streamline access to juvenile records in limited circumstances while preserving privacy protections. The author explains that it would reduce delays, costs, and court congestion by allowing counsel in certain cases to access and use juvenile case files, while maintaining existing redaction requirements and safeguards against further dissemination. Supporters testify that the bill would help county counsel provide timely legal advice and improve policy work in child welfare and probation. Opponents argue it could weaken juvenile confidentiality and privacy protections statewide. In response, supporters clarify that access is limited to attorneys in specified civil litigation, that records remain heavily redacted under Section 827, and that additional sealing protections apply. The committee then takes a roll call vote, motions do pass as amended to Appropriations, and the bill passes out of committee.
