Juvenile Justice Diversion Program; authorize diversion within the Division of Youth Services within DHS.

SB 2731 renames Mississippi's "Adolescent Opportunity Program" to the "Juvenile Justice Diversion Program" (JJDP) within the Division of Youth Services. The bill requires the JJDP to provide alternatives to detention during after-school and weekend hours, such as community service, job training, and restorative justice practices. It authorizes the program to operate as both pre-petition diversion (before a formal court case) and post-adjudication diversion (after a court decision) to keep juveniles out of detention, contingent on available legislative funding. The program must use evidence-based methods like tutoring, mentoring, and vocational training, delivered through community organizations.
