Legislation
Tracking 2024-2025 Youth Commission Business
The Youth Commission typically takes action as a full body in 3 different ways: by responding to pending legislation proposed by the Board of Supervisors, by adopting resolutions advising the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors on issues related to San Francisco's children and youth, and by passing motions subsequent to presentations the Commission hears from community organizations and/or other City agencies.Â
This regularly updated document tracks all 3 of these actions for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.Â
