Prohibiting sexually violent predators from being placed in less restrictive alternatives located in areas with a high concentration of children.
SB 6336 prohibits sexually violent predators from being placed in community-based housing (less restrictive alternatives) located in areas with a high concentration of children. The bill requires the Department of Social and Health Services to verify that any proposed placement site has at least three adults for every child within a 500-foot radius. This specifically applies to locations like schools, parks, daycare centers, playgrounds, and youth camps. The law amends existing statutes to enforce this geographic restriction for all community placements of individuals deemed likely to commit sexually violent acts if not confined.
