Hearings and records; confidentiality

(a) Notwithstanding any other law concerning public hearings and records, unless the court orders otherwise, any hearing or trial in a case filed on or before January 1, 2021, under chapter 584, before its repeal, and any hearing or trial held to establish parentage under part VIII or IX shall be held in closed court without admittance of any individual other than those individuals necessary to the action or proceeding. All papers and records pertaining to the action or proceeding, whether part of the permanent record of the court or of a file of the department of health or elsewhere shall not be open to inspection by any individual other than the parties to the proceeding, the child who is the subject of the proceeding, their attorneys, and the department of health, unless consent is given by the court and all interested persons, or inspection is authorized by an order of the court for good cause shown. The individual seeking to inspect the document may be required to pay the expense of preparing a copy of the document to be inspected. (b) Upon parentage being established, the confidentiality requirement shall not extend to the judgment and all subsequently filed documents that are used in good faith for support and medical expenses, insurance, or enforcement purposes; provided that the confidentiality requirement shall continue to apply to any references to a non-adjudicated alleged or presumed parent.
