This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there are no live odds of enactment. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Existing law provides for the civil commitment of criminal offenders who have been determined to be sexually violent predators for treatment in a secure state hospital facility, as specified. Existing law authorizes the conditional release of a sexually violent predator under specified circumstances, and requires the State Department of State Hospitals to make the necessary placement arrangements to place the person in a community, as specified. This bill would prohibit the department or its designee from placing a person who has been conditionally released in a community if the person does not have housing in a qualified dwelling, and would define "qualified dwelling" to mean a structure intended for human habitation by one person or a single family and that is not within 10 feet of another dwelling.
