§ 341.1. Exclusion of general public. The general public may be excluded from any proceeding under this article and only such persons and the representatives of authorized agencies as have a direct interest in the case shall be admitted thereto.
The general public may be excluded; only those with a direct interest and authorized-agency reps are admitted (JD proceedings are not open like criminal court).
