BILL NUMBER:  AB 382
  VETOED	DATE: 10/11/2009




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 382 without my signature.

This bill would add, among other provisions, the sexual orientation
and gender identity of an inmate or ward to the list of risk factors
considered as part of the California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation's?(CDCR) inmate and ward classification and housing
assignment procedures.  This bill is unnecessary because CDCR already
considers these factors when determining where to house inmates.

For these reasons, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
