Senate Resolution No. by Senator Barrow 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. The resolution highlights the responsibilities of the Office of Juvenile Justice in managing juvenile institutions and ensuring the safety and well-being of youth in their care. It emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability, particularly in light of recent high-profile cases and ongoing concerns about the conditions within these facilities.

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, sexual battery, and rape, as well as the outcomes of investigations and the status of any 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.
