H.R. 4922 — D. C. Criminal Reforms to Immediately Make Everyone Safe Act of 2025

This section limits eligibility for youth offender status under the District of Columbia Youth Rehabilitation Act of 1985 (YRA)—which provides a flexible, rehabilitation-focused sentencing framework for young offenders—to individuals under 18 years of age (from 24 years of age or younger) and makes conforming amendments. Specifically, it (1) repeals the requirement to consider individuals aged 18 through 24 in the strategic plan for youth facilities, treatment, and services; and (2) limits required community service under probation orders to individuals aged 15 to 18 years of age (from 15 to 24). The section further prohibits imposition of a sentence below any applicable mandatory-minimum term for youth offenders by striking the relevant provision.

This section requires the Attorney General of the District of Columbia to establish and operate a publicly accessible website containing specified statistics on juvenile crime, including (1) total annual juvenile arrests and breakdowns by age, race, and sex; (2) arrests for petty crimes (i.e., vandalism, theft, shoplifting) and crimes of violence; (3) first-time versus repeat offenders and number of prior arrests; (4) prosecution declination rates; (5) juveniles tried as adults; (6) sentencing outcomes (not sentenced, misdemeanor, or felony); and (7) expected time served in correctional facilities. The website must be updated monthly, archive historical data indefinitely in machine-readable format available for bulk download, and exclude personally identifiable information. This section authorizes release of relevant data from juvenile case records, social records, and law enforcement records to the Attorney General for this purpose and requires establishment of the website within 180 days of enactment.
