Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) is up for reauthorization and this month marks the 35th anniversary of JJDPA. JJDPA provides the major source of federal funding to improve states’ juvenile justice systems and sets federal standards for the protection and rehabilitation of youth involved in the juvenile justice system. On March 24, 2009, Congress introduced JJDPA (S. 678), but with Congress’ focus on other legislative matters, such as health care reform, JJDPA has been sitting in the wings of U.S. Senate Committee on Judiciary.

Let's increase the momentum for JJDPA's reauthorization. Visit PTA Takes Action Center and contact your members of Congress Today!
