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 generally requires that a person released on conditional release pursuant to these provisions be placed in the county of domicile and requires the State Department of State Hospitals, or its designee, to consider specified factors when recommending a specific placement for community outpatient treatment, including the concerns and proximity of the victim or the victim's next of kin and the age and profile of the victim or victims in the sexually violent offenses committed by the person subject to placement. This bill would also require, if reasonably possible, a person to be placed at a location within the person's city of domicile, if any, or within a close geographic location within the county of domicile in which the person has family, social ties, or economic ties, and access to reentry services, unless placement within that city or location would pose a risk to the person's victim or victim's next of kin. The bill would additionally require the department, or its designee, to consider additional factors when recommending a specific placement for community outpatient treatment, including whether the specific placement location has reasonable access to public transportation, whether the specific placement location has reasonable access to health and mental health providers, and, in certain circumstances, whether the specific placement location would contribute to an overconcentration of persons on conditional release in the area.
