| 19 | law enforcement agencies, the Department of Juvenile Justice and |
| 20 | its designees, the Parole Commission, and the Department of |
| 21 | Corrections, and the Justice Administrative Commission shall |
| 22 | always have the right to inspect and copy any official record |
| 23 | pertaining to the child. The court may permit authorized |
| 24 | representatives of recognized organizations compiling statistics |
| 25 | for proper purposes to inspect, and make abstracts from, |
| 26 | official records under whatever conditions upon the use and |
| 27 | disposition of such records the court may deem proper and may |
| 28 | punish by contempt proceedings any violation of those |
| 29 | conditions. |
| 30 | (5) This part does not prohibit a circuit court from |
| 31 | providing a restitution order containing the information |
| 32 | prescribed in s. 985.201(4)(c) to a collection court or a |
| 33 | private collection agency for the sole purpose of collecting |
| 34 | unpaid restitution ordered in a case in which the circuit court |
| 35 | has retained jurisdiction over the child and the child's parent |
| 36 | or legal guardian. The collection court or private collection |
| 37 | agency shall maintain the confidential status of the information |
| 38 | to the extent such confidentiality is provided by law. |
