Support Vulnerable Youth: Reauthorize the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act SUPPORT VULNERABLE YOUTH: REAUTHORIZE THE JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT ACTION NEEDED: Urge your Members of Congress, especially those that serve on the House Education and Workforce Committee and the Senate Judiciary committees, to support and cosponsor bipartisan legislation which would reauthorize the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA). BACKGROUND: The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) is the principal federal program through which the federal government sets standards for the care and custody of juveniles. JJDPA improves juvenile justice systems at the state and local levels and also provides direct funding to states and counties for research, training, and technical assistance and evaluation of the entire youth system. Originally enacted in 1974, JJDPA has been amended several times over the past 30 years, but its basic composition has remained QUICK FACTS relatively the same and this framework has led to continuing success. Each year, local juvenile courts handle an estimated Since inception, JJDPA has provided critical federal funding to states and 1.6 million delinquency cases counties to comply with a set of protections that shield youth from the and adjudicate youth dangers of adult jails, keep status offenders out of locked custody and delinquents in nearly seven of address the disproportionate treatment of minorities in the justice system. every 10 petitioned cases Title II of the law establishes State Formula Funds to support state compliance with these protections, helping to ensure that states have the JJPDA is set to expire on resources to build effective statewide systems that reduce recidivism and September 30, 2015 without Congressional action. The promote public safety. The Incentive Grants for Local Delinquency continuing success of Prevention Program, commonly known as the Community Prevention Grants effective nationwide juvenile Program and authorized under Title V of the JJDPA, provides funding to local crime prevention and governments for collaborative, community-focused and community-based deterrence depends on delinquency prevention efforts to reach youth in high-risk situations before Congress reauthorizing JJDPA they make poor choices. The programs authorized in JJDPA are used in states and counties to reduce juvenile offending by providing judges and other juvenile justice officials with a range of age and developmentally appropriate options that hold youth accountable while giving them the assistance they need to turn their lives around so they are less likely to reoffend. They are all critical to many communities nationwide, and allow counties to identify gaps in their continuum of services, implement innovative, research-based programming and increase evidence-based screening and assessment for children and youth. The continuing success of effective nationwide juvenile crime prevention and deterrence depends on Congress reauthorizing JJDPA, as well as providing the resources needed to fulfill its provisions. Congress must continue to support and improve the four core principles of law, including: deinstitutionalization of status offenders (DSO), sight and sound separation, jail removal, and disproportionate minority confinement (DMC) as part of any multiyear JJDPA reauthorization bill. The most recent bipartisan proposal to reauthorize the JJDPA was S. 1169, the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Reauthorization Act of 2015, which was introduced by the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa.) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.). JJPDA is currently being funded as a part of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2015 (P.L. 113-235), which is set to expire on September 30, 2015. KEY TALKING POINTS: Counties are the principal providers of juvenile court and detention services for youth. Furthermore, counties operate and fund the wide majority of local health, human service and social service agencies for juveniles to ensure success and continuum of care. Many youth who are confined are nonviolent and highly amenable to the benefits of rehabilitative services and supports. The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) provides critical federal funding, research and technical assistance to states and counties to comply with a set of core protections that shield youth from the dangers of adult jails, keep status offenders out of locked custody, and address the disproportionate treatment of minorities in the justice system. Programs funded in JJDPA assist counties in investing in collaborative, community-based delinquency prevention efforts to reach high-risk youth. Title V delinquency prevention funds are used by counties to support prevention programs targeted t youth at risk of becoming delinquent or to intervene with first-tie and non-serious offenders to keep them out of the juvenile justice system.

We support immediate passage of H.R. 367, with the addition of USPHS and NOAA. Though continued funding for the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Air Force is provisioned through the U.S. Department of Defense, members of the above three federal uniformed services critical to defending our city and port remain unpaid, and their families are left to suffer the consequences in an unforgivingly expensive metropolitan area. While we oppose the shutdown generally, it is especially abhorrent that our city’s defenders have been forced to suffer. New York City last year was named a “Coast Guard City,” yet our Coasties are being asked to sacrifice greatly just to keep serving us.

    FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION WASHINGTON OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN March 11, 2020 The Honorable Carolyn B. Maloney Chairwoman Committee on Oversight and Government Reform U.S. House of Representatives 2157 Raybum House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairwoman Maloney: In response to a May 2017 incident in which a surge in comments caused disruption to the Commission’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECF$), GAO was asked to review both (1) the actions that the Commission took in response to the May 2017 event, and (2) the extent to which the FCC has implemented security controls to effectively protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ECFS and two related FCC systems. As a result of that investigation, on September 26, 2019, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a limited official-use only (LOUO) report entitled FCC Improved Its Electronic Comment System, but Needs to Remedy Additional Control Weaknesses, GAO 19-247 SU (Report).” During the course of its review, GAO shared with the Commission a draft of its Report, which identified a number of issues with the Commission’s information security program and made 136 recommendations for correcting those issues. In a September 13, 2019, response to this draft report, the FCC Managing Director concurred with GAO’s recommendations, noted that the Commission submitted evidence to GAO that we had mitigated 83 of those recommendations, and explained the Commission’s timeline for addressing the remaining 53 recommendations. Based on the FCC’s response and subsequent actions taken in response to the draft report, the GAO has closed 85 of its 136 recommendations as having been addressed by the agency.

    June 10, 2021 Mr. Rick Cotton, Executive Director Port Authority of NJ & NJ 225 Park Avenue South New York, NY 10003 Re: JetBlue Airways Corporation Dear Mr. Cotton, I write on behalf of JetBlue Airways Corporation who announced in a March 16, 2021 CRAIN’s New York article that they are considering moving their Long Island City company headquarters to Florida in 2023. The relocation of JetBlue’s headquarters to Florida is alarming news for our borough, our economy, and the 1,300 families who work from this location. JetBlue Airways Corporation is a major American low cost airline, and the seventh largest airline in North America by passengers carried. JetBlue Airways has made significant investment in New York City both in Long Island City, and at JFK International Airport, Terminal 5. JetBlue Airways and their partners are committed to the JFK T6/T7 Redevelopment Project, need to assure that the project is financeable and address the significant funding gap that remains. In recent negotiations with the Mayor, I was privy to the deal that negotiated and extended JFK Airport’s ground lease for an additional ten years through 2060. The lease extension should benefit all airport companies, as it will help airport companies and developers secure financing, and continue the airport’s modernization in the redevelopment. In discussions, I understand that JetBlue and their development partners, JFK Millennial Partners, has not been extended the same 10 year lease extension agreement and concessions for their project. JetBlue Airways wants to maintain their company profile as a low cost airline, something that might prove difficult if they are forced to compete with market rate airlines.

  • Hoyer Advocates for Increased Staff Pay to Attract & Retain Experienced
    Hoyer Advocates for Increased Staff Pay to Attract & Retain Experienced, Diverse Staff Earlier this month, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer testified before the House Select Committee on Modernization and highlighted the need for the House to offer competitive salaries and benefits in order to attract and retain talented, experienced, and diverse Congressional staff – particularly after an intense workload over the past year responding to the pandemic and its ensuing economic crisis, and after the trauma of the January 6th insurrection. Following his testimony, Leader Hoyer and Democratic Caucus Chair Hakeem Jeffries wrote a letter to appropriators urging an increase in office budgets to boost staff pay. Here’s a look at coverage of these efforts: Roll Call: Hoyer and Jeffries to pitch 20 percent boost for office funds to retain staff “Leaders in the House are raising the alarm that the sluggish growth of staffer pay makes recruiting and retaining talented staff difficult and are urging appropriators to include a 20 percent increase for office budgets for fiscal 2022.” “….Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer and Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries wrote to Appropriations Chair Rosa DeLauro and Legislative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Tim Ryan advocating for the boost to the Members’ Representational Allowance in the upcoming Legislative Branch spending bill.” “‘Many have been serving as Congressional staff for years out of a deep sense of duty, choosing not to pursue or accept competitive offers from the private sector in order to remain in public service,’ wrote Hoyer and Jeffries. ‘Their commendable sacrifices and contributions ought to be met with the raises and benefit increases they have surely earned through their hard work and dedication.’” “They also say recruits eager to commit their careers to public service are deterred by less competitive salaries and benefits even when compared with executive branch jobs.

  • Our State Is Anticipated to Receive More Than $50 Billion
    �am:ll Jiln.si jpiahr of tlri �nu.st February 11, 2021 Dear New York Colleagues: Thank you for your letter, dated February 9, regarding the urgent need forpandemic relief for the people of New York and for all Americans. We sadly observe over 1.5 million coronavirus cases, nearly 45,000 deaths, and hundreds of thousands of job losses in New York. Please know that your concerns are being addressed in ways that you have advanced and with the enthusiastic advocacy of Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. The Committees are marking up and the House wiU pass by the end of the month the President Bi den's American Rescue Plan, which takes a giant step forward for New Yorkers to put money in people's pockets, vaccines in people's arms, children back in school and more people back to work. Overall, New York State will receive over $50 billion in state and local funding, and more than $20 billion in additional funding to support families' health, financial security and well-being. In addition to the more than $70 billion for the New York public sectors and families, the legislation also ensures New York will receive its portion of the billions allocated for public health funding. The Bi den plan includes $50 billion for testing, $8 billion for public health workforce and $20 billion for vaccine distribution. We expect a significant portion of those funds will be distributed directly to state and local health departments. These funds will be used to ensure that New Yorkers can return to work safely, reopen businesses and provide the care necessary to keep its citizens out of hospitals and clinics.
