This bill enacts R.S. 15:933.1, which establishes a requirement for the Office of Juvenile Justice to report information about juveniles in custody to the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to assist in adjusting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Specifically, the Office must report identifying information for juveniles sentenced to nine months or longer, and must notify DCFS of a juvenile's release from custody, particularly if the juvenile has not yet reached the age of majority, defined as under twenty-two years old. The Office is also required to inform DCFS at least forty-five days prior to a juvenile's release, or within twenty-four hours if unable to provide the advance notice due to a court modification.

Upon receiving the report from the Office of Juvenile Justice, the Department of Children and Family Services is mandated to adjust the SNAP benefits for the juvenile's household to reflect any changes in circumstances. This legislative measure aims to ensure that households with juveniles in custody receive appropriate support through SNAP benefits, thereby addressing the needs of families affected by juvenile justice involvement.
