House Bill No. [insert number] amends and reenacts R.S. 15:951(C) and (E) and enacts R.S. 15:827.3(A)(2)(d) to enhance the Back on Track Youth Pilot Program in Louisiana. The bill allocates fifteen percent of annual savings from criminal justice reforms to the Louisiana Children's Trust Fund Board, which will administer and operate the program. Additionally, the Louisiana Children's Trust Fund Board is designated as the intermediary for the program, granting it the authority to manage funds and make necessary adjustments to program funding.

The definition of "youth or youths" is also updated in the bill, changing the age range from under eighteen to individuals who are at least sixteen years old and not more than twenty-four years old. This change aims to broaden the scope of the program to include older youth, thereby providing support to a larger demographic within the community.
