   An act to amend Section 422.91 of the Penal Code, relating to hate
crimes.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1369, as introduced, Davis. Hate crimes.
   Existing law requires the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation to, subject to available funding, cooperate with fully
and participate actively with federal, state, and local law
enforcement agencies and community hate crime prevention and response
networks and other antihate groups concerning hate crimes and gangs,
and strive to provide inmates with safe environments in which they
are not pressured to join gangs or hate groups and do not feel a need
to join them in self-defense.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to those
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
