HB 578 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

CORRECTIONS: Creates the Back on Track Youth Pilot Program (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

HB 578 amends the Back on Track Youth Pilot Program by updating terminology to refer to "children" and "youths" instead of "juveniles" throughout the text. The bill also clarifies that the program falls under the jurisdiction of both the Department of Education and the Louisiana Commission on Children and Youth. Additionally, it defines "youth or youths" as any person who has not yet reached the age of eighteen. These changes are primarily linguistic and definitional, ensuring consistent language across the program's administration.
