Summary

Consequences for Juvenile Offenders Act of 1999 - Amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to replace provisions regarding grants to develop alternative methods of punishment for young offenders with provisions authorizing the Attorney General to provide grants to promote greater accountability in the juvenile justice system, including grants to: (1) develop, implement, and administer graduated sanctions for juvenile offenders; (2) build, expand, renovate, or operate temporary or permanent juvenile correction, detention, or community corrections facilities; (3) provide funding to enable prosecutors to address drug, gang, and youth violence problems more effectively and for technology, equipment, and training to assist prosecutors in identifying and expediting the prosecution of violent juvenile offenders; and (4) establish and maintain accountability-based programs that are designed to enhance school safety. Sets forth State and local eligibility requirements, including assurances that the State and local governmental unit have in effect(or, within one year, shall have in effect) laws, policies, and programs that provide for a system of graduated sanctions. Directs that such sanctions, which may be discretionary (subject to specified limitations), ensure at a minimum that: (1) sanctions are imposed on juvenile offenders for every offense and escalate in intensity with each subsequent, more serious delinquent or criminal offense; (2) there is sufficient flexibility to allow for individualized sanctions and services suited to the individual juvenile offender; and (3) appropriate consideration is given to public safety and victims of crime. Requires that 75 percent of the funding received by a State be provided to units of local government, with an exception. Provides for direct grants to specially qualified units if a State does not qualify or apply for funds reserved for allocation by the application deadline. Directs the Attorney General to issue regulations establishing procedures under which a State or local governmental unit that receives funds is required to provide notice to the Attorney General regarding the proposed use of grant funds, including a requirement for the establishment and convening of an advisory board to review the proposed uses of such funds. Sets forth payment requirements. Limits the amount of funds received that a State or local government may use for administrative costs to five percent. Authorizes appropriations. Sets forth provisions regarding oversight accountability and administration.
