Bill > SB6338

This bill requires courts to consider recommendations from the prosecutor before approving a less restrictive alternative for a sexually violent predator, a person who has been determined to have a mental abnormality that makes them likely to engage in predatory sexual violence. Specifically, the bill amends existing law to mandate that before a court can order a sexually violent predator to be conditionally released to a less restrictive setting, it must allow the prosecutor of the county where the proposed housing is located to make recommendations about the appropriateness of that housing. The court must then consider these recommendations and explain in writing its reasoning if its final decision significantly differs from what the prosecutor recommended.
