Requiring electronic monitoring of sexually violent predators granted conditional release.

HB 1457 requires courts to impose electronic monitoring with real-time tracking, exclusion zones, and tamper alerts for sexually violent predators granted conditional release to a less restrictive setting. It mandates a 500-foot buffer zone between the person’s residence and schools/kindergarten facilities, along with individualized conditions like treatment participation, contact restrictions, and GPS supervision. The bill directs courts to collaborate with providers to tailor conditions ensuring community safety while requiring the Department of Corrections to investigate and recommend placement. It also includes fair share principles to prevent disproportionate grouping of such individuals in specific counties.
