	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2392, as introduced, Torrico. Parole: substance abuse programs.

   Existing law provides that any inmate under the custody of the
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation who is not currently
serving and has not served a sentence for certain crimes, who has
successfully completed an in prison drug treatment program, upon
release from state prison, shall, whenever possible, be entered into
a residential aftercare drug treatment program, as specified.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.

290, who has successfully completed an in prison drug treatment
program, upon release from state prison, shall, whenever possible, be
