Prince George's County - Coordinated Youth Violence Review and Response Team PG 301-25

HB 408 establishes a Prince George’s County Coordinated Youth Violence Review and Response Team to address violence against youth under 18. The team, made up of county officials including the police chief, health officer, school superintendent, and social services leaders, will use confidential case management to prevent violence. It allows the team to access certain protected police records about youth (normally kept confidential) for prevention efforts, while requiring strict confidentiality and limiting disclosure. This directly affects youth in Prince George’s County who live there, attend local schools, or participate in county youth programs.
