Juvenile Justice Changes

Where it is in the process

This bill changes how New Mexico handles delinquent children. It requires regular validation and reporting on a tool used to assess the risk of detaining a child. The bill also renames the "Juvenile Community Corrections Act" to the "Juvenile Community Connections Act" and expands grant programs for services for adjudicated delinquents, children, and youth. Finally, it establishes local panels to decide next steps for delinquent children in juvenile facilities, focusing on available services for their well-being.
