Juvenile justice commission: hunger survey.

Summary

The bill adds a law that obligates each county juvenile justice commission, or a partnered community organization, to conduct a hunger survey of youths under 26 held in detention facilities at least every two years. If the survey shows chronic or frequent hunger, the commission must recommend policy changes and post the results online, while counties must cover any food costs. The measure seeks to ensure adequate nutrition for detained youth and increase transparency.
