This bill died with 2011-2012 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law requires the case file of a dependent child or ward of the juvenile court to be kept confidential, except as specified. Existing law authorizes only certain persons to inspect the case file, including, among others, the attorneys for the parties, judges, referees, other hearing officers, probation officers, and law enforcement officers, who are participating in proceedings involving the minor. This bill also would authorize an attorney for a sibling of the minor in a juvenile dependency proceeding in which the sibling is the subject to inspect the minor's dependency case file under certain circumstances. The bill would, however, exclude mental health records, counseling reports, and mental health evaluations from being accessed under those provisions. The bill would make other technical, nonsubstantive changes.
