Juvenile Records - Access by Baltimore City Mayor's Office

HB 1145 allows Baltimore City's Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement, Mayor's Office of Children and Family Success, and Mayor's Office of African American Male Engagement to access and use juvenile records when providing services to a child and developing a treatment plan. The bill clarifies that existing confidentiality rules for juvenile records do not block these specific city offices from accessing records under these circumstances. It also makes these offices liable for unauthorized release of any accessed records. This change affects how these three city offices handle juvenile records for service delivery and treatment planning.
