Committee on Criminal Justice

Monday, July 28, 2025 · 10:00 AM AM · Council Chambers - City Hall

TL;DR

The Committee on Criminal Justice held hearings on five major criminal justice reform measures, including oversight of the Department of Probation's strategy and proposals to improve medical care for incarcerated people, protect transgender inmates, and support defendants with mental health needs. Several measures were postponed for further consideration rather than voted on, indicating the committee is still deliberating these complex policy issues.
