This bill, titled the "Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Reauthorization Act of 2025," aims to reauthorize titles II and V of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974. It extends appropriations for the Act from fiscal years 2026 through 2030, ensuring continued federal support for state and local juvenile justice programs. The legislation introduces several amendments designed to enhance the protection and treatment of youth within the justice system. A significant provision addresses the secure confinement of juveniles for status offenses , requiring states to eliminate this practice by September 30, 2028, with limited exceptions for the Interstate Compact for Juveniles under strict judicial oversight. For juveniles held for violating a valid court order, the bill mandates prompt agency notification, in-person interviews, and court hearings within 48 hours, limiting secure detention to a maximum of seven days with specific written findings. Furthermore, it establishes new rules for juveniles awaiting trial who are treated as adults, prohibiting sight or sound contact with adult inmates unless a court determines it is in the interest of justice after considering specific factors like age and maturity. Such placements are subject to frequent judicial review and a 180-day limit. The bill also expands the types of promising programs eligible for funding, including those addressing racial and ethnic disparities, collecting socioeconomic data, and diverting youth from the justice system. It requires states to ensure services are culturally and linguistically competent and broadens data collection categories to include religion, national origin, and sexual orientation. Additionally, the legislation mandates trauma-informed approaches for investigating allegations of abuse and allows local agencies to receive funds under exigent circumstances for a limited period.
