				  Delinquency Act. Any time a request for juvenile justice services client
				  records is received by a facility, JPO field office, or any other departmental

				  custodian.

				records custodian, the request is forwarded to an assistant general counsel in
				the office of general counsel for review. If the assistant general counsel
				approves the request, the OGC records custodian corresponds with the requester
				and asks them to complete and return a juvenile justice services request for
				disclosure of confidential information form and any required HIPAA or other
				release forms, as below.

				records from the appropriate facility for review by the OGC assistant general
