AI Summary
This bill, effective January 1, 2027, amends Tennessee law to restrict access to petitions and orders filed in juvenile court concerning delinquency (acts that would be crimes if committed by an adult) or unruly behavior (acts like truancy or running away). Previously, these records were more broadly accessible, but this bill limits access to only those directly involved in the juvenile justice system, including judges, magistrates, court staff, district attorneys and their assistants, and public defenders and their assistants, when acting in their official capacities and for matters involving a child, while also prohibiting them from further disclosing this sensitive information except as allowed by law.
