	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Cannella

                        FEBRUARY 6, 2012

   An act to amend Section 3020 of the Penal Code, relating to
inmates.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1046, as introduced, Cannella. Inmate assessments.
   Existing law requires the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation to conduct assessments of all inmates that include,
but are not limited to, data regarding the inmate's history of
substance abuse, medical and mental health, education, family
background, criminal activity, and social functioning. Existing law
requires that these assessments be used to place inmates in programs
that will aid in their reentry to society and that will most likely
reduce their chances of reoffending.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that
provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
