Establishes "Task Force for Community Based Juvenile Rehabilitation."
This bill establishes a 17-member "Task Force for Community Based Juvenile Rehabilitation" to review juvenile justice practices in New Jersey. The task force must recommend changes to minimum and maximum ages for juvenile court prosecution based on developmental science, and address racial disparities in juvenile prosecution and sentencing. It will hold three regional public hearings and submit a report with findings to the Governor and Legislature within one year. The task force will include officials from key agencies, advocacy groups, and community representatives, but the bill itself does not change current laws - only creates a process for future recommendations.
