Creates "Youth Detention Task Force."

This bill establishes a 25-member "Youth Detention Task Force" to assess New Jersey's current youth detention system and recommend improvements. The task force will evaluate whether existing county facilities, Youth Justice Commission-managed facilities, or an alternative system best serves youth, considering factors like safety, rehabilitation, resources, and security. It includes members from both legislative chambers, state agencies (Attorney General, Youth Justice Commission, Education, Children and Families), and stakeholder groups (county prosecutors, juvenile detention associations, public representatives). The task force must submit findings and legislative recommendations within 18 months of its first meeting, after which it will expire 30 days later. The bill directly affects how New Jersey manages youth detention facilities and the oversight process for detained youth.
