'Directly Impacted Child Rehab and Safety Act
Sponsored By: Representative Kamlager-Dove, Sydney [D-CA-37]
Introduced
Summary
Shift federal handling of young offenders toward juvenile-focused rehabilitation and clearer age rules. The bill would change age cutoffs and transfer rules in federal criminal law, require annual federal reporting on children in federal cases, and fund grants so state child welfare and juvenile justice agencies improve data and services for at-risk youth.
Show full summary
- Families and children: People who are at least 12 and below the updated upper age would be treated within the juvenile framework, and the delinquency transfer threshold in district court is raised from 15 to 16.
- Juvenile defendants: The bill would limit murder liability for persons under 18 to cases where they intentionally or knowingly caused a death or knowingly assisted the killer with intent to kill. Others would be sentenced for the underlying offense committed or attempted.
- State and tribal agencies: Grants funded through the Social Security Act would run 2 to 5 fiscal years with extension options and require data-sharing plans and collaboration to serve children excluded by age, survivors of commercial sexual exploitation, dual-status youth, and crossover children.
