What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a person who has been found to be a sexually violent person may be involuntarily committed to the Department of Health Services for control, care, and treatment. If a person is committed and placed in institutional care, the person may periodically petition the court for supervised release. If a court determines that supervised release is appropriate, DHS must prepare for the court a supervised release plan for the person. Before preparing the plan, current law requires DHS to consult with a local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the prospective residential option. This bill requires DHS to also notify and, upon their request, consult with the district attorney and pertinent local governmental units in the county of intended placement. In addition, under the bill, if a proposed residence was previously proposed but rejected for placement of a person on supervised release, DHS must include in the plan an explanation for why the residence was rejected.
