upon request, to other individuals to whom confidential
reports may be released, as specified by section 6340. The
department's report shall be made available to the public,
but identifying information shall be removed from the
contents of the report except for disclosure of: the identity
of a deceased child; if the child was in the custody of a
public or private agency, the identity of the agency; the
identity of the public or private agency under contract with
a county agency to provide services to the child and the
child's family in the child's home prior to the child's death
or near fatality; and the identity of any county agency that
convened a child fatality or near fatality review team in
respect to the child. If the report determines that no one
was culpable in the child's fatality or near fatality, the
report shall not be available to the public after one year
following the issuance of the report. The report shall not be
released to the public if the district attorney certifies
that release of the report may compromise a pending criminal
investigation or proceeding. Certification by the district
attorney shall stay the release of the report for a period of
60 days, at which time the report shall be released unless a
new certification is made by the district attorney.
Section 2. This act shall take effect in 60 days.
