AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) to collect and report data on children who qualify for prosecution as adults under Florida's direct file laws, including information related to their age, race, prior criminal history, and case outcomes. The DJJ must provide an initial report analyzing data from the previous year by January 2019 and then generate annual reports going forward. This data collection and reporting is intended to provide more transparency and oversight around the direct file process, which allows prosecutors to bypass the juvenile justice system and charge certain youth as adults.
