ORS 419A.256 When transcript of proceeding is part of record of case; access to transcript; disclosure

Once prepared and filed with the court, a transcript of a juvenile court proceeding is part of the record of the case maintained by the clerk of the court under ORS 419A.255 (1) and is subject to the provisions of ORS 419A.255 governing access and disclosure.

Notwithstanding ORS 419A.255, if a transcript, audio recording or video recording has been prepared in any proceeding under ORS chapter 419C, the victim, child, ward, youth, adjudicated youth or young person or the parent or guardian of the child, ward, youth, adjudicated youth or young person may obtain a copy at no cost.

If the court finds that the child, ward, youth, adjudicated youth or parent or guardian of the child, ward, youth or adjudicated youth is eligible for court-appointed counsel at state expense, the court shall order, upon motion, the transcript or part of the transcript to be furnished. The transcript or part of the transcript furnished under this subsection must be paid for in the same manner as furnished transcripts are paid for in criminal cases.

The official audio, video or other recording of a juvenile court proceeding shall be withheld from public inspection but is open to inspection by the persons described in ORS 419A.255 (1)(b)(A) to (Q).

With a finding of good cause and subject to any conditions the court finds appropriate, the court may provide a copy of the audio or video recording of a juvenile court proceeding to persons described in ORS 419A.255 (1)(b)(A), (I), (J) and (M) to (Q).
