Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

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

Reentry plans for youth leaving custody

Beginning Dec 1, 2026, the state runs a joint reentry program for youth under 19 leaving detention, group homes, treatment centers, or probation. Each youth gets a written transition plan and post‑reentry supervision. The plan covers health and behavioral care, keeping Medicaid active, school reentry, an employment plan, housing, IDs, and public benefits. Plans are reviewed weekly in detention and monthly elsewhere. Family meetings happen at least every 30 days for the first 90 days after reentry. Agencies work with trained community mentors and may set training rules.

No services after custody or probation

Beginning Dec 1, 2026, agencies are not required to keep helping after supervision or custody ends. When probation ends, Probation does not have to provide services. When a youth leaves DHHS custody, DHHS and the Office of Juvenile Services do not have to provide services.

Existing funds only and Bridge referrals

Beginning Dec 1, 2026, agencies run this program with current staff and budgets. The law does not add new General Fund money. Agencies use existing federal funds, like WIOA, and other available funds. Youth who qualify for Bridge to Independence are referred there. Services under this act cannot duplicate Bridge to Independence.
