Bill > HB4302

This bill expands the authority of the Office of Juvenile System Oversight, an entity responsible for inspecting and investigating issues within the state's children and youth service system, by allowing it to subpoena child or juvenile records from both state-operated and privately-operated facilities that are part of this system. Additionally, the bill modifies the conditions under which the Office can release information that identifies a complainant, permitting disclosure if a court orders it for good cause or if the disclosure is necessary to protect others from an explicit threat of serious harm communicated by the complainant, provided the Office takes reasonable steps to notify the potential victim and law enforcement. This legislation aims to enhance the oversight capabilities of the Office of Juvenile System Oversight to better ensure the safety and well-being of children within the state's care.
