IL SB1552

Adds new subsection (4.5) requiring the Department of Juvenile Justice to make relevant information, reports, and records (including social investigation, psychological, and medical records) available to county juvenile detention facilities upon written request when a youth previously in state custody is subsequently ordered to a county facility.

Establishes that juveniles who are victims or alleged victims of sex offenses receive the same confidentiality protections regarding disclosure of identity as the juvenile subject of the record, with victim identity information never disclosed to the public under any circumstances.

Allows disclosure of court files to authorized parties including judges, attorneys, probation officers, law enforcement, prosecutors, and placement providers when necessary for their official duties while maintaining confidentiality protections.

Permits county juvenile detention facility superintendents or directors to request information from the Department of Juvenile Justice's Chief Records Officer regarding juveniles who were previously in state custody and are now held in county facilities.
