California AB802 mandates the Juvenile Justice Commission to survey youth in county confinement to assess hunger and make public recommendations.

California AB802 requires the Juvenile Justice Commission to conduct a survey every 24 months on youth under 26 years old in county confinement facilities to determine if they are often or chronically hungry. The survey will assess access to food, meal times, and food quality. If the survey indicates hunger issues, the commission must recommend policy changes to county governments. These recommendations must consider the need for additional healthy food for physically active youth and ensure that costs for addressing hunger do not fall on the youth or their families.
