CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2011–2012 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill
No. 1046

Introduced  by  Senator Cannella

February 06, 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   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 3020 of the Penal Code is amended to read:

3020.
 The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation shall 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. The assessments shall be used to place inmates in programs that will aid in their reentry to society and that will most likely reduce the inmate’s inmates’ chances of reoffending.
