Requiring owners of properties used as less restrictive alternatives for sexually violent predators to make certain disclosures.
SB 6317 requires property buyers intending to operate facilities for sexually violent predators under "less restrictive alternatives" to provide written notice to local officials before closing a property sale. The notice must include the planned start date, maximum occupancy, and resident names if known, and must be sent to the county sheriff, local legislators, county administrators, and county commissioners. This disclosure must occur after entering escrow but before the sale closes. Violating this requirement is classified as a class 1 civil infraction.
