SB 6436: Sexual predator release

Concerning the conditional release of sexually violent predators to less restrictive alternatives.

Summary

  • Alters the definition of less restrictive alternative (LRA) to exclude adult family homes.
  • Requires sexually violent predators (SVPs) who are conditionally released in an LRA to be first placed to a secure community transition facility before any other placement.
  • Requires an SVP to show progress in treatment at the Special Commitment Center and that conditional release would not unduly place the community at risk.
  • Alters information requirements for public disclosures for certain offenders.
