Juvenile records in fixing bail
A. For the purpose of fixing bail, a court may make a written request of any juvenile court for an abstract containing the pending or adjudicated delinquent acts of a defendant currently before the requesting court. The juvenile court shall promptly comply with the request; however, not more than forty-eight hours, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, shall lapse before the requested information is deposited by means of an email address provided in the written request addressed to the requesting court.
B. The requesting court shall issue a protective order concerning the use of the juvenile abstract for the purposes of protecting the confidentiality of the abstract from any individual who is not involved in the relevant proceedings that concern the defendant who is currently before the requesting court.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
