CA SB 132 requires that individuals be housed according to gender identity and individual preference.
Common criteria recommended for consideration when determining housing placement based on gender identity include the following factors:
• Individual perception of safety
• Safety and health
• History of, and current, management and security problems
• Security level, criminal and disciplinary history
• Medical and mental health needs
• Vulnerability to sexual victimization and likelihood of perpetrating sexual abuse against others
• Gender identity and expression

Re-Evaluation required?
If a transfer request is denied, an individual has 30 days to grieve the decision, the Office of Grievance meets with the incarcerated individual to evaluate the complaint; if no due process violations or additional information exists, it is referred to the Department Review Board (DRB) and the director or designee makes the final housing decision.
Pronoun requirements?
CA SB 132 requires CDCR to ask each individual entering into its custody to specify gender identity, pronoun, honorific, and search preference.
