Washington SB6022 aims to improve juvenile rehabilitation by repealing the JR-25 policies and modifying juvenile court jurisdiction and sentencing.

Washington SB6022 repeals the JR-25 policies, which have failed to provide effective rehabilitation to young adults and contributed to overpopulation and violence in juvenile rehabilitation facilities. The bill modifies juvenile court jurisdiction, allowing the juvenile court to retain jurisdiction over certain offenses committed by individuals up to age 25. It also amends sentencing standards, including the imposition of additional confinement for certain offenses and the extension of parole for specific crimes.
