Today the Senate Judiciary Committee passed Senate Bill 678, the Reauthorization of the Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA). After being on the committee’s schedule for a number of weeks but always not quite rising to the top due to other issues, efforts by Sen. Leahy, Sen. Kohl, and others has paid off. All Senate Democrates except Sen. Feinstein voted for the bill, while all Republicans except Sen. Grassley, voted against – meaning that it passed the committee on a strong, 13-6 vote. It will now await consideration by the full senate, hopefully early in 2010.
