Interim study to identify the needs of youth moving and transitioning to and from a youth rehabilitation and treatment center, an adult correctional facility, or a residential treatment facility as proposed by LB867

This legislative resolution directs the Health and Human Services Committee to conduct an interim study on the needs of youth transitioning between youth rehabilitation centers, adult correctional facilities, and residential treatment facilities. The study will examine current facility proposals, identify specific needs of housed youth, consider alternative facility models, and evaluate success criteria while incorporating input from various state agencies, advocacy groups, and national experts. The committee will also assess what policy and legal changes may be needed to implement an evidence-based plan for youth movement and transitions, ultimately submitting findings and recommendations to the Legislature.
