Amendment Would Prohibit Release of Free-Roaming SVPs as Transients<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

SACRAMENTO\u00a0\u2013 On the Senate floor today,\u00a0Senate Minority Leader Brian W. Jones<\/a>\u00a0(R-San Diego),\u00a0presented an\u00a0amendment<\/a>\u00a0aimed at stopping the dangerous practice of releasing sexually violent predators (SVPs) into communities on transient status.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s bad enough that sexually violent predators are being dumped in our communities. Given their diagnoses, why would we allow these dangerous individuals to be released on transient status?,\u201d\u00a0Leader Jones stated.\u00a0\u201cIt’s a fifty percent failure rate, and that’s simply unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The proposed amendment is a direct response to the alarming statistics surrounding the state’s SVP-Conditional Release Program (CONREP), which began in 1996. According to data from state contractor\u00a0Liberty Healthcare<\/a>, a staggering fifty percent of SVPs released on transient status\u00a0have been revoked or rehospitalized due to “serious violations.” Recently, Liberty Healthcare\u00a0proposed to dump<\/a>\u00a0an SVP in a brand-new RV with transient status in Placer County. Transient placements\u00a0could become more common<\/a>\u00a0as the state faces a dire housing shortage.<\/p>\n

The proposed amendment would have prohibited the release of SVPs into communities on transient status. Instead, it proposed placing SVPs on state property and subjecting them to supervision by state personnel, ensuring their actions are closely monitored to protect the public.<\/p>\n

“Our proposal today is a logical solution to safeguard our communities from the dangers of free-roaming sexually violent predators,\u201d\u00a0said Leader Jones. \u201cIt\u2019s disappointing to see Senate Democrats quickly shoot it down without any consideration for communities\u2019 safety.\u201d<\/p>\n
