County detention: juvenile facilities: commissary.
- Requires juvenile detention facilities to provide free hygiene products to indigent youth detainees.
- Prohibits using access to hygiene products as a disciplinary measure or reward.
- Mandates the discharge of all hygiene product debts accrued before January 1, 2026.
- Defines indigent status as having $25 or less in trust accounts over seven days.
Senator Becker's juvenile detention reform measure establishes free access to basic hygiene products for indigent youth in California county facilities, addressing current practices that can lead to debt accumulation or lack of access for those unable to pay commissary costs.
The legislation requires facilities to provide items like soap, toothpaste, menstrual products, and other essential hygiene supplies at no cost to detained youth with $25 or less in their trust accounts over a seven-day period. The bill prohibits using access to these products as either punishment or reward, while mandating the discharge of any hygiene-related debts accrued before January 2026.
Under existing law, county juvenile facilities can operate commissary stores selling hygiene items to detained youth, though facilities must provide some basic hygiene supplies. The new provisions expand these requirements by guaranteeing specific products upon request for indigent detainees while preventing debt accumulation for these necessities. Local agencies may receive state reimbursement for costs associated with implementing these changes, pending review by the Commission on State Mandates.
