This bill tightens the District of Columbia's handling of juvenile offenders. It narrows youth offender status to individuals under 18, down from the current cutoff of 24 years of age or younger, with conforming changes to the strategic plan and community service provisions, and it removes the provision that had allowed a sentence below the mandatory-minimum term for youth offenders. It also directs the DC Attorney General to build and run a public website of juvenile crime statistics, updated monthly and archived indefinitely, covering arrests broken down by age, race, and sex, petty and violent offenses, first-time versus repeat arrests, prosecution declinations, adult transfers, and sentencing outcomes, all in a machine-readable bulk-download format and without any juvenile's personally identifiable information. To feed that site, juvenile case records, social records, and law enforcement records must be provided to the Attorney General despite their usual confidentiality.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 11 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 34 quarterly reports filed by 2 lobbying firms and by 10 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
4 of those filings did not cite this bill by number. They named a short title it shares with its Senate companion, S 2686, so the reference belongs to the pair rather than to one chamber’s vehicle.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL); The Sentencing Project; Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence; American Civil Liberties Union; Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 6 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
