The Strengthening Capacity and Transparency at DYRS Amendment Act of 2025 aims to address the persistent overcrowding at the Youth Services Center by requiring the Mayor to develop and submit a one-year action plan within 120 days of the bill's enactment. This plan must outline strategies to permanently reduce the juvenile population at the center to a maximum of 90 youth and prevent future overcrowding. Additionally, the bill mandates the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS) to publicly report specific population data regarding youth at both the Youth Services Center and the New Beginnings Youth Development Center, despite existing juvenile confidentiality laws.

The new reporting requirements include daily population counts categorized by status at entry, race, and age, as well as average lengths of stay, monthly admissions, and recidivism data. The bill specifies that the reported data should encompass critical incidents and instances of improper room confinement, ensuring greater transparency and accountability within the youth rehabilitation system. These amendments are intended to enhance the operational capacity of DYRS and improve the conditions for youth in their care.
