The Strengthening Capacity and Transparency at DYRS Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services Establishment Act of 2004 to enhance transparency and address overcrowding at the Youth Services Center. The bill mandates that the Department publicly report specific population data for youth at both the Youth Services Center and the New Beginnings Youth Development Center. This data includes daily population counts, average length of stay, recidivism rates, and critical incident reports, among other metrics. Additionally, the Mayor is required to submit a one-year action plan within 120 days of the bill's enactment to address the overcrowding issue and ensure the juvenile population remains at or below the facility's maximum capacity.

The new legal language introduced in the bill includes provisions for public reporting of youth population data and the requirement for the Mayor to create a plan to mitigate overcrowding. The bill emphasizes the importance of transparency in the operations of the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services and aims to improve the conditions and management of youth facilities in the District of Columbia.
