Review of foster care placements; disclosure of confidential report
or document
Sec. 5. (a) The juvenile court may assign cases to a foster care
review board established by the court to assist the court in reviewing
foster care placements. The board shall:
(1) review a foster care placement at the juvenile court's
request; and
(2) file a report, including findings and recommendations, with
the court.
(b) If the juvenile court believes the contents of a confidential
report or document would benefit the review board, the court may
provide the review board with an order authorizing disclosure of the
document to the review board. The review board may not disclose
the contents of a confidential report or document to a person who is
not allowed disclosure by the court or by statute.
