Wider youth pilot access and yearly funding

The law expands Back on Track Youth Pilot Program age eligibility to ages 16–24, beyond the prior under-18 definition. Each fiscal year, 15% of savings from criminal justice reforms goes to the Louisiana Children's Trust Fund Board for program operations. The total dollar amount depends on those savings and is not specified. The Board manages funds and addresses funding changes, while a group of nonprofits and state agencies administers the program. Savings data must be reported to the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget.
