Juveniles - Truancy Reduction Pilot Programs - Report

HB 1442 requires the Maryland Judiciary to evaluate existing truancy reduction pilot programs by analyzing student GPA, graduation rates, and truancy rates. The report must include recommendations on whether such a program would be effective specifically in Baltimore City's Eighth Judicial Circuit. The Judiciary must submit this report to the Governor and General Assembly by December 1, 2026. This bill does not create new programs but mandates a time-limited evaluation, expiring automatically on December 31, 2026.
