Bill Summary
AN ACT RELATING TO CRIMINAL SENTENCING; PROVIDING FOR CHEMICAL CASTRATION TREATMENT AS A CONDITION OF PAROLE FOR SEX OFFENDERS; PROVIDING THAT REFUSAL TO UNDERGO CHEMICAL CASTRATION TREATMENT IS A PAROLE VIOLATION.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to require sex offenders sentenced to incarceration to undergo chemical castration treatment as a condition of their parole. The bill defines "chemical castration treatment" as the use of hormonal drugs to reduce sexual violence recidivism. It outlines the process for administering the treatment, including requiring the offender to pay for the costs, and specifies that refusal to undergo the treatment will be considered a violation of parole, resulting in the offender being remanded to the custody of the corrections department for the remainder of their sentence.
