  • Mandates JJCC membership include the chief probation officer as cochair and a community representative elected as cochair, plus representatives from public health, district attorney, public defender, social services, mental health, and other relevant agencies.

  • Requires JJCCs to meet at least 3 times per year with 10 days advance notice and provide public access through remote participation options to encourage community engagement.

  • Establishes that councils develop and implement prevention and intervention services for at-promise youth using healing-centered, restorative, community-based, and positive youth development approaches rather than law enforcement-focused strategies.

  • Defines "at-promise youth" as individuals up to age 25 vulnerable to court system involvement due to poverty, lack of opportunities, racial discrimination, family incarceration, and community violence.
