Senate Resolution No. [insert number] urges the Office of Juvenile Justice to provide detailed reports to the Senate Committees on Finance and Judiciary B regarding complaints, investigations, and litigation at secure and non-secure care facilities under its jurisdiction. This request is rooted in the office's responsibility for the care and treatment of adjudicated youth and aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the juvenile justice system. The resolution highlights the importance of monitoring the safety and well-being of juveniles in these facilities, especially in light of recent high-profile cases and ongoing concerns about conditions within the system.

The resolution mandates that the Office of Juvenile Justice submit a comprehensive report by February 1, 2026, covering data from 2020 to 2025. This report must include the total number of complaints related to various forms of assault and abuse, the outcomes of investigations, and details on any state or federal lawsuits filed. The Senate Committees may hold public hearings to review the findings and exercise oversight of the Office of Juvenile Justice, with the expectation that similar reports will be submitted annually starting in 2026.
