Bill > HB1390

This bill repeals the community protection program, a program designed to provide services and housing options for individuals deemed sexually violent predators. The legislation aims to allow clients of the home and community living administration to access less restrictive service options while ensuring that their supportive services are not reduced. The Department of Social and Health Services is tasked with developing and implementing a plan by December 31, 2026, to transition all individuals currently in the community protection program into other services or programs, with this specific directive expiring on July 1, 2027. The bill also amends existing laws related to sexually violent predators, specifically removing references to the community protection program as a potential placement or treatment option for individuals released from detention. The repeal of the community protection program and its associated statutes will take effect on January 1, 2027.
