Bill Summary

Relative to the reporting of sex offender treatment program outcomes by the Commissioners of the Department of Correction and the Department of Youth Services. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Commissioners of the Department of Correction (DOC) and the Department of Youth Services (DYS) to report on the outcomes of sex offender treatment programs. The report must include data on the recidivism rates of two groups: those who received the treatment and those who did not, but have similar risk and needs profiles. The outcome measurement must go beyond anecdotal evidence or pre- and post-program comparisons, and must determine if there is a statistically significant difference in recidivism rates between the two groups.
