Juveniles: juvenile justice services; certain information sharing for research purposes in juvenile justice cases; allow. Amends sec. 9 of 1988 PA 13 (MCL 722.829).

This bill amends Michigan's Juvenile Diversion Act to allow researchers and organizations to request records related to juvenile diversion cases for study purposes. Under the new provisions, courts and the state court administrative office can release these records only if a formal data use agreement is created to protect personally identifiable information from misuse. The bill also requires officials to keep detailed logs of all research requests and their outcomes, while maintaining existing rules that keep screening results and admissions confidential from court proceedings.
