Key Provisions

Juvenile Restoration Program
Purpose: The bill sets up a "Juvenile Restoration Program" under the Children, Youth and Families Department (CYFD). The goal is to aid juveniles convicted of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, or voluntary manslaughter in transitioning back into the community post-release.
Eligibility: Applies to individuals who were under 18 at the time of their offense and have served their sentence or been paroled.
Financial Assistance
Amount: Eligible individuals receive $2,000 per month.
Duration: Payments last for up to 48 months (4 years) or until the individual turns 25, whichever comes first.
Funding: The money comes from a newly created "Juvenile Restoration Fund," which will be supported by state appropriations and potentially other sources like grants or donations.
Conditions and Oversight
Compliance: Recipients must follow parole conditions (if applicable) and participate in rehabilitative programs specified by CYFD, such as counseling, education, or job training.
Revocation: Payments can be stopped if the individual commits a new felony, violates parole, or fails to engage in the required programs.
Annual Review: CYFD must report yearly to the legislature on the program’s outcomes, including recidivism rates and participant progress.

Wow, so the lawmakers are encouraging kids to murder??
"Kill someone before you are an adult, and you get released in a few years and paid thousands a month for years!"[/quote]

Okay, let’s dispel a few of the lies here…

1) The URL you linked goes to an amendment to the bill that renames the Juvenile Community Corrections Act to the Juvenile Community Connections Act.

2) Here’s the URL with the text of the bill:  https://www.nmlegis.gov/Sessions/25%20Regular/bills/house/HB0255.pdf

3) The bill mentions nothing about a “Juvenile Restoration Fund” or a $2000/month stipends for juvenile offenders.

4) The bill delineates a grant fund for communities, municipalities, and organizations to provide programs and services for crime prevention and rehabilitation of juvenile offenders. The money does not go to individuals.

It’s important to get information directly from the source, and not from biased outrage/clickbait outlets.[/quote]
