General Assembly Raised Bill No. 7250 seeks to implement recommendations from the Juvenile Justice Policy and Oversight Committee by restructuring its membership to include new representatives such as the Commissioner of Housing and the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection. The bill also changes the process for appointing youth representatives from specific appointments by legislative leaders to nominations by a community expertise subcommittee, thereby enhancing the inclusion of community members with lived experience in the juvenile justice system. Additionally, the bill addresses chronic absenteeism in schools by requiring the establishment of attendance review teams in districts with high absenteeism rates, which will review truancy cases and report their findings to the Department of Education.

Furthermore, the bill aims to create a state-wide uniform youth diversion policy and training curriculum for police officers, to be developed by December 1, 2025, in collaboration with the Police Officer Standards and Training Council and community representatives. It mandates the Department of Children and Families to provide annual reports on the implementation of the Specialized Trauma-Informed Treatment Assessment and Reunification Enhancement Plan starting July 1, 2025, and requires the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management to evaluate recommendations related to the reentry success plan. These measures are designed to improve outcomes for at-risk youth and ensure effective implementation of the Juvenile Justice Policy and Oversight Committee's recommendations.
