Calif. Gov. OKs Viagra Ban for Offenders
By TOM CHORNEAU, Associated Press Writer
Tue Oct 4, 9:23 PM
 
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - California taxpayers will no longer help pay the cost of impotency drugs for registered sex offenders under legislation signed Tuesday by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
 
The bill amends current law that requires the state's health insurance program for the poor to help cover the cost of drugs used for treating erectile dysfunction.
 
Federal support for subsidized Viagra was curtailed earlier this year when a New York state audit found nearly 200 sex offenders benefiting from the program.
 
Schwarzenegger then asked state agencies to stop prescribing the drugs to sex offenders and asked lawmakers to pass a bill that would outlaw the coverage.
 
The measure was one of several crime-related bills the governor announced signing. Others will:
 
_ Permit children to testify in sexual assault cases via closed circuit television, allowing them to face the assailants but from outside the courtroom.
 
_ Prohibit parents from having custody of their children if the parent lives with a registered sex offender.
 
_ Block the state's Department of Mental Health from placing sexually violent patients near schools after release from treatment.
 
_ Allow state and local officials to use global positioning systems to monitor parolees.

For the most part I am really happy with what this man has done in office.  I'm very disappointed he caved to partisan pressure on the Gay Marriage bill when he had already publicly stated his personal belief on the issue was opposite of that.  I understand that it was done out of heavy political bullying, but it still disappoints me.  That aside, I have really been delighted with most of the things he has done for California.
