Relating to the disclosure of certain information by the Texas Juvenile Justice Department.
SB 2776 clarifies when the Texas Juvenile Justice Department may share records about former juvenile clients. It allows disclosure only to individuals who were discharged from commitment, are at least 18 years old, and have given written consent. The department cannot share any information beyond what was consented to or for purposes outside the agreed scope. This bill directly affects former juvenile justice clients meeting these conditions, while maintaining existing privacy protections for other records.
