Resolve, to Study Methods for Improving Youth Community Supervision and Increasing Juvenile Diversion from Formal Judicial Processing

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill creates a program to divert youth from the criminal justice system by allowing law enforcement to refer juveniles to the Department of Health and Human Services for a needs assessment. This assessment identifies services for the juvenile and their family, and its findings cannot be used against the juvenile in court without their consent. The bill also establishes an implementation group to help put these changes into practice.
