§ 13-1-134 — Court automation system - juvenile or domestic actions

(1) The
general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that the accurate and
efficient exchange of information between the courts and state family service
agencies is beneficial in providing aid to families in need in Colorado. Further, the
general assembly declares that the use of a computer automation system to link
the courts with each other and with state family service agencies for the purpose of
the exchange of information regarding families would aid in identifying and
providing services to families in need. It is for this reason that the general assembly
has adopted this section.

(2) (a) On or before January 15, 1996, the state court administrator shall
establish and administer a program for automation of the court computer
technology systems in order to link the juvenile courts and district courts involved
in domestic actions around the state with each other and with state family service
agencies, including, but not limited to, the department of human services, the
juvenile probation department, law enforcement offices, and any other agency
involved in the investigation, evaluation, or provision of services to families involved
in domestic actions pursuant to title 19, C.R.S., and articles 4 and 10 of title 14,
C.R.S. Said automation system shall provide those parties linked to the system with
automatic access to information obtained by any one of the parties in regard to a
family or family member involved in said domestic actions; except that said
automation system shall not include information which is required to be kept
confidential under any state or federal law.

(b) Repealed.

(3) The provisions of this section shall not affect the confidentiality of
juvenile records.
