SB 1333

Bill Subjects

Abstract

Existing law provides for the civil commitment of a person who is determined to be a sexually violent predator. Existing law establishes a procedure by which a person committed as a sexually violent predator may petition for conditional release and requires the court, if it makes a specified determination, to place the person on conditional release. Existing law requires that a person released on conditional release pursuant to these provisions be placed in the county of domicile unless certain conditions are satisfied. This bill would also require, as a condition to placing a person in a county other than their county of domicile, the proposed designated county of placement to be provided specified evidence prior to the court ordering the person to be placed in a county other than the county of domicile. Existing law permits the court to order the department to provide a copy of the written terms and conditions of conditional release to the sheriff or chief of police, or both, who have jurisdiction over the proposed or actual placement community. The bill would require, if the department or its designee requests that the county of placement petition the court to revoke a person's conditional release, the department or its designee to provide the county of placement any information or records relating to the person's treatment or performance on conditional release that the department or its designee believes serves as the basis for a revocation of community outpatient treatment.
