The BECCA Bill, which stands for "Becca's Education, Care, and Compassion Act," was passed in Washington state in 1997. It is named after Becca Williams, a 15-year-old girl who went missing and was later found murdered. The legislation was designed to improve the state's juvenile justice and child welfare systems, particularly focusing on at-risk youth.
