Relates to removing the local share requirements associated with increasing the age of juvenile jurisdiction

This bill removes the requirement for New York counties and New York City to pay a local share of costs when increasing juvenile jurisdiction age above 15 years. It eliminates the obligation for local governments to fund eligible expenses that would not have existed without the 2017 law changing juvenile jurisdiction. Counties and NYC will no longer need to contribute local funds for these specific juvenile justice costs, though a hardship waiver process remains for exceptional financial situations. The change directly affects local governments responsible for juvenile justice funding under the 2017 law. The policy simplifies funding by shifting the cost entirely to the state.
