SB 6870: Sexually violent predators

Containing costs for services to sexually violent predators.

Summary

  • Changes terminology to use the term "evaluation" rather than "examination."
  • Specifies that if a person is indigent, the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) is responsible for the cost of one expert or professional to conduct an evaluation on the person’s behalf and that the expert or profession have reasonable access to the person for the purposes of evaluations.
  • Directs the DSHS to adopt rules related to reimbursements for the cost of evaluations.
  • Clarifies that nothing precludes a person from paying for additional expert services at his or her own expense.
