加州「拥抱法案」2027年1月1日生效：少年管教设施探视可拥抱亲人，不再需要事先批准
加州一项扩大少年管教设施接触式探视的法律将于2027年1月1日生效。洛杉矶县缓刑局11月通讯说，洛杉矶县监事会已于10月6日通过动议，要求缓刑局加快落实这部被称作「拥抱法案」（Hug Act）的法律，该局就该法落实发布的声明标题显示其法案编号为AB 1646。
该法由州长纽森今年9月签署，将扩大少年设施的接触式探视，并取消探视拥抱须经首席缓刑官事先批准的要求。提出动议的监事Janice Hahn说：「我们要修复少年司法系统还有很长的路要走，但确立这些年轻人拥抱亲人的权利，是把人性带回这个系统的一小步。安全必须是我们的首要任务，但也应该给孩子们留出拥抱妈妈的空间。我为启发了这部立法、并全身心推动它通过和签署的年轻人感到无比自豪。」共同提出动议的还有监事Holly Mitchell。
这部法律源于Downey的Los Padrinos少年管教所里被关押青少年的请求：他们希望能在探视时和家人拥抱问候与道别。州众议员Isaac Bryan与这些青少年一起推动起草了法案。
缓刑局负责运营洛杉矶县各少年管教设施。法案生效后，符合规定的探视中，青少年与家人拥抱将不再需要事先批准。

California's 'Hug Act' Takes Effect January 1, 2027: Youth in Juvenile Facilities May Hug Family During Visits Without Prior Approval
A California law expanding contact visits at juvenile facilities will take effect on January 1, 2027. According to the Los Angeles County Probation Department's November newsletter, the LA County Board of Supervisors approved a motion on October 6 directing the department to expedite implementation of the law known as the "Hug Act" — the department's statement on its implementation identifies the bill as AB 1646.
The law, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom in September, expands contact visits at juvenile facilities and eliminates a requirement for prior approval by the chief probation officer. Supervisor Janice Hahn, who presented the motion with Supervisor Holly Mitchell, said: "We have a long way to go to fix our juvenile system, but establishing the right of these young people to hug their loved ones is one small way we can bring some humanity back in. Safety has to be our priority, but there should be room for kids to be able to hug their moms. I am beyond proud of the young people who inspired this legislation and poured themselves into getting it passed and signed into law."
The legislation originated with youth incarcerated at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall in Downey, who asked to be able to hug their families hello and goodbye during visits. Assemblymember Isaac Bryan developed the bill with the youth.
The Probation Department operates Los Angeles County's juvenile facilities. Once the law takes effect, hugs between youth and their families during qualifying visits will no longer require prior approval.
