                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
                                        AN ACT
    1-1  relating to the notification of certain statewide and national
    1-2  criminal information systems when a warrant is issued for a
    1-3  juvenile.
    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Subsection (c), Section 51.14, Family Code, is
    1-6  amended to read as follows:
    1-7        (c)  Except as provided by this subsection, law-enforcement
    1-8  files and records concerning a child shall be kept separate from
    1-9  files and records of arrests of adults and shall be maintained on a
   1-10  local basis only and not sent to a central state or federal
   1-11  depository.  The law-enforcement files and records of a person who
   1-12  is transferred from the Texas Youth Commission to the institutional
   1-13  division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice <Corrections>
   1-14  under a determinate sentence may be transferred to a central state
   1-15  or federal depository for adult records on or after the date of
   1-16  transfer.  If a child has been reported as missing by a parent,
   1-17  guardian, or conservator of that child, has escaped from the
   1-18  custody of a juvenile detention facility, the Texas Youth
   1-19  Commission, or any other agency to which the child has been
   1-20  committed, or is the subject of a bench warrant or felony arrest
   1-21  warrant issued by a court <after the child has fled the
   1-22  jurisdiction of the court>, any information  or records concerning
   1-23  that child may be transferred to and disseminated by the Texas
    2-1  Crime Information Center and the National Crime Information Center.
    2-2        SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1995.
    2-3        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
    2-4  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
    2-5  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
    2-6  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
    2-7  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
