Courts, Juvenile - As introduced, requires the department of children's services, and others, to provide certain information to court-appointed special advocates in order to provide judicial officers with the most comprehensive information to be used in the consideration of the placement and custody of a child. - Amends TCA Title 37, Chapter 1, Part 1.
SB 1755 (Tennessee) requires Tennessee's Department of Children's Services and other agencies to provide court-appointed special advocates (CASAs) with full access to all relevant case information about a child, parents, or involved organizations within 10 business days of a CASA's request. This includes historical and current records, excluding information related to active criminal investigations. The bill directly affects CASAs, who advocate for children in custody and placement decisions, by ensuring judicial officers receive more comprehensive data. It amends Tennessee law (TCA Title 37, Chapter 1, Part 1) to standardize information sharing between agencies and CASAs during juvenile court proceedings.
