The proposed legislation establishes the Back on Track Youth Pilot Program under Part V-B of Title 15 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes. The program aims to provide youths with alternatives to criminal activity by offering a curriculum that includes occupational or vocational training, life skills, healthy choices, and literacy instruction. The administration of the program will involve selected nonprofit organizations alongside various state departments, including the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, the Department of Children and Family Services, the Department of Education, and the Louisiana Workforce Commission.

Eligibility for participation in the program will be determined based on several criteria, such as the income level of the youth's family, behavioral indicators of risk (including aggression, disruption, or delinquency), and demographic factors related to the youth's location within the state. The bill defines "youth or youths" as individuals who have not yet reached eighteen years of age.
