	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 966, Bonta. Prisoner Protections for Family and Community
Health Act.
   Under existing law, the Secretary of the Department of Corrections
and Rehabilitation is responsible for the administration of the
state prisons. Existing law makes it a crime to engage in sodomy
while incarcerated in a state prison and existing regulation
prohibits inmates from participating in illegal sexual acts.
   This bill would require the department to develop a 5-year plan to
extend the availability of condoms in all California prisons.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  This act shall be known, and may be cited, as the
Prisoner Protections for Family and Community Health Act.
  SEC. 2.  Chapter 10.9 (commencing with Section 6500) is added to
Title 7 of Part 3 of the Penal Code, to read:
      CHAPTER 10.9.  PRISONER PROTECTIONS FOR FAMILY AND COMMUNITY
HEALTH ACT


   6500.  Based on the recommendations contained in the "Evaluation
of a Prisoner Condom Access Pilot Program Conducted in One California
State Prison Facility" report, and in light of the successful pilot
project conducted at California State Prison, Solano, the Department
of Corrections and Rehabilitation shall develop a five-year plan to
expand the availability of condoms in all California prisons.
