Justice-Involved Youth in Community Act of 2025
The Justice-Involved Youth in Community Act of 2025 creates a program pairing youth on Deferred Disposition Agreements (DDAs), Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPAs), or Consent Decrees (CDs) with "Trusted Adults" for support during their agreements. It directly affects youth in these programs - 443 were active in 2023 - with a focus on high-risk cases. The Trusted Adult provides practical help with school, transportation, healthcare access, and social services, while requiring monthly coordination between the adult, probation officers, and the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) to track compliance. The program limits initial participation to 50 youth and mandates that noncompliance still leads to prosecution under existing terms.
