AI Summary

This bill establishes the Youth Restorative Justice Fund to support and expand restorative justice models of juvenile diversion, including Youth Courts. The fund will receive 34% of the proceeds from the seizure of assets related to drug crimes, with the remaining funds distributed to the prosecuting district attorney or attorney general, and the police department involved in the seizure. The Secretary of Public Safety and Security will administer the fund and make grants to youth court and juvenile diversion programs using a restorative justice model.

The bill also requires annual reporting on the collection and expenditure of these asset forfeiture funds by district attorneys, the Attorney General, state police, and local police departments.
