Establishes provisions relating to the administration of surgical castration for certain sexual offenders

Summary

The bill would permit a judge to sentence an adult convicted of an aggravated sexual offense against a child under 13 to surgical castration, if a court‑appointed medical expert finds the offender medically suitable. The Department of Corrections would provide the procedure, which must be done before the offender’s release, and refusal could result in an additional three‑to‑five‑year prison term. The measure does not apply to offenders under 17 or to lower‑degree sexual abuse charges.
