The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5423 aims to enhance juvenile justice initiatives by mandating a report from the executive director of the Court Support Services Division of the Judicial Branch. This report, which is to be submitted by July 1, 2026, will detail the usage of court support services during the previous fiscal year and provide recommendations for the expansion of these services. The report is to be presented to the joint standing committees of the General Assembly that oversee judiciary matters and state agency budgets.

The bill introduces new legal language that establishes the requirement for this report, while it does not delete any existing legal provisions. The intent of the bill is to improve community support services related to juvenile justice, thereby potentially enhancing the effectiveness of interventions for youth in the judicial system.
