Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

18–24 lose youth-offender status

This bill would limit youth‑offender status to people under 18. People age 18 to 24 would be treated as adults and could lose access to juvenile programs and sentencing options. Agencies would also no longer need to include 18–24-year-olds when planning juvenile facilities and services. These changes would take effect upon enactment.

Community service limited to 15–18

This bill would limit court-ordered community service during probation to ages 15 to 18. People age 19 to 24 could no longer be ordered to perform community service under this section. Families with teens 15 to 18 could still face community service orders. The change would take effect upon enactment.

Public website for juvenile crime data

If enacted, the D.C. Attorney General would launch a public website with monthly juvenile crime data within 180 days. It would show arrests by age, race, and sex; petty and violent crime counts; first-time versus repeat arrests; declination rates; adult-trial rates; and sentencing outcomes and expected custody time. The site would keep archives, allow bulk downloads, and exclude any child’s personal information.
