Summary

The measure changes state law so that any treatment setting that is less restrictive than total confinement for a sexually violent predator must be operated by the Department of Social and Health Services or a provider it contracts with. It applies to predators who are civilly committed under existing statutes and excludes placement in the community protection program. The goal is to centralize oversight of these alternatives and ensure they meet statutory conditions.
