HR 189 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Resolution directing the Joint State Government Commission to conduct a study on the nutritional value of food, along with the nutrition-related health of incarcerated individuals, in State correctional institutions in this Commonwealth and to issue a report of its findings and recommendations to the House of Representatives.

This resolution directs the Joint State Government Commission to study the nutritional quality of food and nutrition-related health outcomes for incarcerated individuals in state correctional facilities. It requires the Commission to produce a report with findings and recommendations for the House of Representatives. As a procedural resolution (not a law), it does not enact policy but seeks to inform future legislative action on prison nutrition standards. The bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee and later laid on the table, halting further progress.
