AI Summary

This bill requires any person or entity intending to purchase property for use as a "less restrictive alternative" (LRA) for sexually violent predators to provide written notification to specific local and state officials, including the county sheriff, state legislators representing the district, the county administrator or manager, and the chair of the county's governing body. This notification must be given after entering into an escrow agreement but before the sale is finalized, and it must include the date the property will begin operating as an LRA, the maximum number of sexually violent predators that will reside there, and the names of any anticipated residents if known. Failure to comply with these disclosure requirements will result in a class 1 civil infraction, which is a minor legal offense with a penalty.
