Stop Predator Dumping Act

The Stop Predator Dumping Act requires states with civil commitment laws for sexually violent predators to adopt specific rules for placing individuals upon their conditional release. These rules mandate that no two released individuals live within 10 miles of each other and prohibit placing a new individual in a county area that already has fewer such residents than another area in the same county. Additionally, the bill caps the number of placements in any single district of large counties at 25 percent of the total for that county. The Attorney General is directed to conduct a study on current placement patterns and distribute best practices for equitable distribution, with federal grants available to help states implement these new guidelines.
