A resolution expressing support for the designation of October 2023 as "National Youth Justice Action Month".
SRES 440 is a symbolic Senate resolution supporting the designation of October 2023 as "National Youth Justice Action Month." It acknowledges that youth under 18 should not automatically face adult criminal justice consequences and recognizes the month’s goal of raising public awareness about youth in the justice system. The resolution does not create new laws but expresses support for existing efforts to reform juvenile justice, including the Juvenile Justice Reform Act of 2018. It directly affects public awareness and community actions related to youth justice issues, not legal outcomes.
