LB 1155 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions relating to legislative oversight

LB 1155 amends Nebraska laws to clarify access to confidential juvenile court records, directly affecting juvenile courts, probation officers, the Office of Inspector General (OIG), and foster care oversight offices. Key provisions require juvenile courts to share probation officer records with the OIG within five business days upon court order for investigations, while maintaining strict confidentiality for most records. The bill specifies limited circumstances where records may be shared with foster care offices, law enforcement (with court approval), or service providers directly working with the juvenile and family. It also reinforces that confidential records cannot be shared further without court authorization, preserving privacy protections for juveniles and families. The changes aim to harmonize existing record-access rules under juvenile justice and oversight statutes.
