You’re invited to a conversation shaping Washington’s future juvenile justice system.
The next session of the PCJJ Legislative Committee’s Advancing Priorities Series will explore potential juvenile sentencing reform bills and changes expected in the 2026 legislative session. These reforms have long-term implications for young people, families, providers, and the systems that support them.
