SB 102 RELEASE OF JUVENILE RECORDS SENATOR SALO, sponsor of SB 102, explained Superior Court judges have access to juvenile records, so that if an adult is convicted of a crime, the judge can open the juvenile file to review the person's past record. District Court judges do not have the same access to those records and are required to follow time consuming procedures to get access. SB 102 gives the District Court the same authority to review juvenile records and adds that either court could review records for the purpose of setting bail or sentencing. Number 272 SENATOR ADAMS asked for an explanation of the procedure a District Court judge must go through to review juvenile records. SENATOR SALO replied the District Court judge must be appointed as a Superior Court judge Pro tempore to get the authority to review the records. It is a cumbersome process that is alleviated in SB 102. SENATOR GREEN noted her support for the measure and moved SB 102 out of committee with individual recommendations. There being no objection, the motion carried.
