AN ACT RECOMMENDED BY THE JUVENILE LAW STUDY COMMISSION TO REQUIRE THAT JUVENILE RECORDS BE AVAILABLE FOR SENTENCING.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 7A-675(e) reads as rewritten:
"(e)	Law-enforcement records and files concerning a juvenile shall be kept separate from the records and files of adults except in proceedings when jurisdiction of a juvenile is transferred to superior court. Law-enforcement records and files concerning juveniles shall be open only to the inspection of the prosecutor, court counselors, the juvenile, his parent, guardian, and custodian and to any superior court judge determining the sentence of any person who has been convicted of the crime for which the sentencing is being determined, but only after the conviction."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective October 1, 1993, and applies to sentences imposed for offenses committed on or after that date.
