Concerning the transfer of the juvenile justice functions.

HB 2108 transfers all juvenile justice responsibilities from Washington's Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) to the Department of Corrections (DOC), effective July 1, 2026. This includes moving all staff, records, equipment, funds, and ongoing cases related to juvenile justice services. The bill updates state law to replace all references to DCYF with DOC in relevant statutes and ensures continuity for ongoing cases and contracts. This change directly affects youth in the juvenile justice system, their families, and the agencies managing their cases, shifting oversight from DCYF to DOC.
