In South Carolina, a bill that would review South Carolina’s juvenile justice laws was approved by a subcommittee of the legislature. House Bill 3055 authorizes a new legislative committee to make recommendations to the General Assembly on ways to divert more juveniles from the criminal justice system.
In Colorado, officials in Larimer County approved the position of a diversion program coordinator who would be responsible for two juvenile diversion programs. The programs would work closely with school resource officers in diverting lower-level incidents within the school system away from the juvenile justice system.
