Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services Badge Identification Theft Act of 2024

This bill requires the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services to implement stronger security measures to protect staff identification badges and mandates that youth under 18 face elevated identity theft charges if they steal these badges. Under the new rules, the department must report any theft incidents to law enforcement, maintain records of such offenses, and provide training to both staff and residents on safeguarding personal information. Additionally, the Metropolitan Police Department will keep track of these cases and regularly update the department on investigation outcomes.
