Criminal and Juvenile Justice Changes

Summary

The bill creates new definitions for recidivism, adds an alternative metric, and requires the state commission to report and reevaluate these measures. It also directs the commission to oversee and expand evidence‑based programs for juveniles, including housing, crisis teams, youth courts, and sliding‑scale fines. The changes aim to improve data accuracy and reduce repeat offending among adults and youth.
