SB 25-239

Senate Bill 25-239, which has been signed into law, allows professionals who are not lawyers but are contracted by certain offices (like the child's representative office and alternate defense counsel) to access court information such as case names and actions. This change affects how these non-lawyer professionals can gather information needed for their work in public cases. Since the bill is signed, it means that the law has been fully enacted and is now in effect.

Official Summary

Current law allows attorneys under contract with the office of the child's representative, the office of alternate defense counsel, and the office of the respondent parents' counsel to access the name index and register of actions of public case types. The act allows other professionals under contract with these offices to access that same information. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
