AB 1464: Housing preferences.

Official summary

Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.

Existing law establishes the state prisons under the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Existing law requires an individual incarcerated by the department who is transgender, nonbinary, or intersex, regardless of anatomy, to be housed at a correctional facility designated for men or women based on the individual’s preference, except as specified for management or security concerns.

This bill would require the department to deny a housing preference by an individual who is transgender, nonbinary, or intersex, regardless of anatomy, and require an individual to be housed in a facility consistent with the individual’s anatomy, if the individual has been convicted of, or the department has credible evidence that the individual has committed, specific offenses, including, among others, rape or human trafficking, against one or more victims with a gender opposite to that of the individual, as determined by the individual’s anatomy.
