Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1997 Supp. 38-1608 prohibits municipal courts from disclosing court records of juveniles under the age of 14 who are charged with violating ordinance cigarette or tobacco infractions unless a district court has ordered disclosure. The records of juveniles over the age of 14 who are charged with violating such ordinances are subject to the same disclosure restrictions as adult records. K.S.A. 1997 Supp. 38-1608(b)(3), which allows disclosure of records for a juvenile who is prosecuted as an adult, has no application to municipal court proceedings. K.S.A. 1997 Supp. 38-1652, which authorizes a district court to close juvenile offender hearings under certain circumstances, is not applicable to hearings in municipal court.
