     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Effective and Humane Treatment of Youth Act of 2021 or Kalief's Law&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill establishes requirements for the treatment of youth in the criminal justice system at the federal, state, and local levels. A &lt;em&gt;youth&lt;/em&gt; is an individual who is 21 years of age or younger.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At the federal level, the bill &lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;requires federal law enforcement officers to record youth custodial interrogations,&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;limits the use of solitary confinement for youth at federal facilities, and &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;limits the use of restraints on youth during federal court proceedings.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;At the state and local levels, the bill places conditions on existing grants and establishes a new grant to incentivize the implementation of similar policies with respect to youth. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;First, the bill reauthorizes the Juvenile Accountability Block Grant program for FY2021-FY2025. To be eligible for grant funds, state and local governments must implement policies that, with respect to youth, provide a right to speedy trial, provide a right to timely bail consideration, and restrict the use of solitary confinement.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Second, a state or local government that receives funding under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program or the Community Oriented Policing Services program must implement policies and training on police-youth interaction. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Third, the bill directs the Department of Justice to award grants to help state and local governments record youth custodial interrogations.&lt;/p&gt;
