Bill Summary
An act to add Section 6608.9 to the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to sexually violent predators, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.
AI Summary
This bill requires the State Department of State Hospitals (DSH) to conduct an analysis by January 1, 2027 (changed from the original date of September 1, 2025) regarding the benefits and feasibility of establishing transitional housing facilities specifically for sexually violent predators (SVPs) who are part of the conditional release program. Currently, existing law allows for the civil commitment of individuals determined to be sexually violent predators and provides a process for their potential conditional release, with considerations given to factors like victim proximity and concerns. The bill mandates that DSH submit a comprehensive report to the Legislature detailing the findings of this analysis, which must comply with specific government reporting guidelines. The bill is classified as an urgency statute, meaning it will take effect immediately, with the stated purpose of ensuring proper placement of sexually violent predators in the conditional release program and protecting public safety. The analysis will likely explore potential locations, operational challenges, and potential benefits of creating specialized transitional housing for this population.
