Sexually violent predators: transitional housing facilities: report.

Senator Jones's proposal for analyzing transitional housing facilities for sexually violent predators in California's conditional release program directs the State Department of State Hospitals to evaluate implementation options and submit findings to the Legislature by September 1, 2025.

The measure builds upon existing civil commitment and conditional release procedures for sexually violent predators. Current law allows committed individuals to petition for conditional release and requires placement in their county of domicile, barring extraordinary circumstances. The Department must consider victim proximity and profiles when recommending community outpatient treatment locations.

Under the proposed analysis requirement, the Department would examine both benefits and feasibility aspects of establishing dedicated transitional housing facilities within the conditional release framework. The resulting report must comply with standard government documentation procedures outlined in Government Code Section 9795. As an urgency measure, the bill would take effect immediately upon enactment to expedite the Department's evaluation process.
