In the three bills S. 1169, H.R. 5963, and S.B. 527 there has been nothing but positive things, and tons of support.

With how things were when there was the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, it was a lot better. Since there was no renewed or refreshed act that followed after it ended in 2007, for those seven years it really has created a social problem. With the help of proposition 47 despite what claim makers are claiming, they will come to see the benefits and switch sides. If on the federal level where S. 1169 and H.R. 5963 passes it will greatly help the rest of the country to be on the same level as California.

    Section 5076 of the California Accountancy Act requires peer reviews for any firm, including sole proprietors, performing audit services. Section 5076 is worthy of being included as part of California Law because in theory it is meant to increase the quality of attest and audit work. Peer review is not a perfect system and is very expensive, especially for sole proprietors, but the concept of providing an independent check on the work of auditors is not a bad…

It would give these offenders an opportunity to succeed by allowing them to have a misdemeanor offense versus a felony offense.

    The juvenile justice system has come a long way from way back in the 1800’s to 2000’s we live in today. The process in which juveniles are convicted and punished has become more refined and set toward more reform than punishment. Did you know that back in the 1800’s and earlier juveniles were held in the same jails as adults were? The earliest start of the separate juvenile justice system can be traced back to the early 1800’s (Taylor, Fritsch and Caeti).…
