Makes certain juvenile justice information confidential and exempt from public records requirements, including information obtained by judges, court employees, and law enforcement in discharge of official duty.

Specifies that names, photographs, addresses, and arrest reports of juveniles taken into custody, charged with, or found to have committed felonies are not confidential solely because of age; allows custodians to choose not to electronically post arrest or booking photographs.

Creates exemption from public records for juvenile criminal history information compiled by the Criminal Justice Information Program from intrastate sources, unless the juvenile was charged with or adjudicated for a felony offense.

Allows release of confidential juvenile criminal history records to criminal justice agencies, the juvenile themselves, parents/guardians, and specified agencies for employment and licensure decisions.

Establishes October 2, 2021 repeal date for the confidentiality exemptions under the Open Government Sunset Review Act unless the Legislature reenacts them.
