§ 725.20 Record of certain actions removed.

1. The provisions of this section shall apply in any case where an
order of removal to the family court is entered pursuant to a direction
authorized by article 722 of this title, or subparagraph (iii) of
paragraph (g) of subdivision five of section 220.10 of this chapter, or
section 330.25 of this chapter.

2. When such an action is removed the court that directed the removal
must cause the following additional records to be filed with the clerk
of the county court or in the city of New York with the clerk of the
supreme court of the county wherein the action was pending and with the
division of criminal justice services:

(a) A certified copy of the order of removal;

(b) Where the direction is one authorized by subparagraph (iii) of
paragraph (g) of subdivision five of section 220.10 or section 330.25 of
this chapter, a copy of the minutes of the plea of guilty, including the
minutes of the memorandum submitted by the district attorney and the
court; and

(c) In addition to the records specified in this subdivision, such
further statement or submission of additional information pertaining to
the proceeding in criminal court in accordance with standards
established by the commissioner of the division of criminal justice
services, subject to the provisions of subdivision three of this
section.

3. It shall be the duty of said clerk to maintain a separate file for
copies of orders and minutes filed pursuant to this section. Upon
receipt of such orders and minutes the clerk must promptly delete such
portions as would identify the defendant, but the clerk shall
nevertheless maintain a separate confidential system to enable
correlation of the documents so filed with identification of the
defendant. After making such deletions the orders and minutes shall be
placed within the file and must be available for public inspection.
Information permitting correlation of any such record with the identity
of any defendant shall not be divulged to any person except upon order
of a justice of the supreme court based upon a finding that the public
interest or the interests of justice warrant disclosure in a particular
cause for a particular case or for a particular purpose or use.
