The Supreme Court has ruled that state legislatures do not have the authority to access records related to child deaths, emphasizing privacy concerns over legislative oversight.

The Court's unanimous decision highlighted the importance of confidentiality in such matters, arguing that the release of such information could deter individuals from reporting abuse or neglect due to fear of privacy invasion. This ruling sets a precedent that could impact how states handle confidential information in legislative inquiries, balancing the need for transparency with the protection of individual privacy rights.
