Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman is pressing for passage of a revamped juvenile justice reform bill designed to address financial concerns that prevented a prior bill from gaining traction.

A major sticking point was the cost county governments would bear through their probation departments handling cases involving 16- and 17-year-olds in addition to the ones involving younger arrestees (NYLJ, June 26, 2012).
