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 into the community.

If a court determines that supervised release is appropriate, current law prohibits placing the sexually violent person within 1,500 feet of a school, child care facility, place of worship, park, or youth center. Under current law, a “youth center” is defined as a center that regularly provides recreational, vocational, academic, or social services activities for persons under 18. This bill adds that “youth center” also includes private property on which recreational, vocational, academic, or social services activities are regularly provided for persons under 18.

Read the full summary

Under current law, once the court approves a residence as part of a supervised release plan, the court must notify law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction that a person will be placed on supervised release. The bill requires the law enforcement agencies to, at least 10 working days before the person is placed, provide written notice of the placement to all private residences within 1,500 feet of the approved residence. The notice must include the name, approved residence address, and a recent picture of the person; all sexually violent offenses for which the person was convicted, found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, or adjudicated delinquent; conditions or rules of the person's supervised release; and methods by which persons may report suspected violations of a condition or rule of the person's supervised release. Finally, under the bill, DHS must reimburse local governments for the costs incurred for providing such notice.
