Amends new GS 7B-3103 (pertaining to disclosure of information about juveniles for public safety reasons) to create an exception for exigent circumstances to permit release of certain information relating to a juvenile without obtaining a court order first by the Division of Juvenile Justice of the Department of Public Safety (Division) or any law enforcement agency within the State. Requires releasing party to seek a court order as soon as reasonably practicable but by no later than the first available session of a court in the county after the release of information.
