Title: Sexually violent predators.
Author: Joe Patterson

Summary
AB 2036, as amended, Joe Patterson. Sexually violent predators. 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 person’s county of domicile prior to their incarceration unless extraordinary circumstances exist requiring placement outside the county, as specified. Existing law requires the department to convene a committee consisting of the counsel for the committed individual, the sheriff or the chief of police of the locality for placement, and the county counsel and the district attorney of the county of domicile, or their designees, to provide assistance and consultation to the department in locating and securing housing.This bill would require that a meeting of the above-described committee be conducted with each individual present and occur only in the county of domicile with a representative of the department personally present. The bill would prohibit the department from attending remotely.
