Phew, what a mouthful!
Anyway, for those who care to follow this legislation, it was recently re-introduced as H.R. 1064. The Senate version is S. 435.
Track them both (and any other federal bills) at this awesome site: OpenCongress.org.
The description from the Senate bill is:
A bill to provide for evidence-based and promising practices related to juvenile delinquency and criminal street gang activity prevention and intervention to help build individual, family, and community strength and resiliency to ensure that youth lead productive, safe, health, gang-free, and law-abiding lives.
As always, read the fine print. Just as with other “gang prevention” legislation in the past, the devil is in the details.
