Creates "Youth Detention Task Force."
This bill establishes a Youth Detention Task Force in New Jersey to evaluate the current state of youth detention and recommend a system that best serves young people. The task force will consist of 25 members, including legislators, state officials, and public representatives from various organizations, who will examine factors like safety, resources, and rehabilitation opportunities. Members will meet to conduct reviews and public hearings, ultimately submitting a report with findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within 18 months. The act expires 30 days after the report is submitted, and task force members serve without pay but may receive expense reimbursements.
