In LA County, officials are spending more than they are collecting in youth restitution and youth restitution fines. This is bad policy, but The Repair Act provides a solution. Call your Senator today to tell them you support #AB1186.

Nick was ordered to pay restitution at just 13 years old. Kids shouldn’t have to pay for their freedom. #AB1186 provides accountability without financial burden.
