Abstract

The Act provides for the fingerprinting of juveniles charged with violent crimes. The Act allows public access to juvenile proceedings and records involving certain felonies and allegations of delinquency. The Act also prohibits the sealing of any juvenile records which involve a public proceeding. Further, the Act requires that victims must be notified when any juvenile who has been adjudicated delinquent for the commission of a designated felony is released. Additionally, the Act provides for notification to schools and provides immunity to public employees from liability resulting from their failure to comply with the notification requirements.
