The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention created the Redline Version of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act as Amended by the Juvenile Justice Reform Act of 2018 to allow readers to quickly track the amendments to the statute. The Redline Version is divided into key sections pertinent to the work of Designated State Agencies (DSAs) and State Advisory Groups (SAGs) in their work to administer the Title II Formula Grants Program. 

This fact sheet describes the major components of the JJRA, including the effective application dates, definition of terms, annual reporting requirements, state allocations, state plan requirements, and the distribution of funds not allocated due to state noncompliance.

The purpose of this document is to assist states in monitoring and achieving compliance with the core requirements specified in the Formula Grants Program authorized under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) (34 U.S.C. §§ 11131-11133). Should anything within this document conflict with any provision of the JJDPA or its implementing regulation at 28 C.F. R. Part 31, Subpart A, the statutory and/or regulatory provision will prevail. Please note that this document describes the requirements applicable to awards made for fiscal year (FY) 2019 and previous years. This document does not apply to awards made for FY 2020 and subsequent years, as it does not incorporate amendments to the JJDPA made by the Juvenile Justice Reform Act of 2018 (Pub. L. No. 115-385), most of which take effect on October 1, 2019.

The toolkit provides examples, templates, and tools that may be used to improve current practices and, ultimately, to select and retain qualified staff.
