A child who is charged with an offense which classifies him for trial as an adult in
the Circuit Court or the adult session of the District Court shall, at the time the
decision is made by the court to try the child as an adult, be subject to the arrest,
post-arrest, and criminal procedures that apply to an adult, except for the place of
confinement, as provided in the Kentucky Revised Statutes and the Rules of
Criminal Procedure.
The Circuit Court shall try all misdemeanor, violation, traffic offense, and status
offense matters included in or which arise from the act or series of acts which result
in the trial of a child as an adult in the Circuit Court.
Records, limited to the records of the present case in which the child has been
charged, relating to a child charged under this section shall not be made public until
after the child has been indicted and arraigned on the offense for trial of the child as
an adult. Release of the child's treatment, medical, mental, or psychological records
is prohibited unless presented as evidence in Circuit Court. Release of any records
resulting from the child's prior abuse and neglect under Title IV-E or Title IV-B of
the Federal Social Security Act is also prohibited.
This section shall not be construed as permitting the release of the child's treatment,
medical, mental, or psychological records unless those records are presented as
evidence in open court. The release of information relative to the child's eligibility
for services under Title IV-E or IV-B of the Federal Social Security Act is
prohibited.
