SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Sexually violent predators; civil commitment.  Provides that the Crime Commission, with input from Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services and the Attorney General's Office shall examine, as possible components of conditional release of civilly committed sexually violent predators, the feasibility of all appropriate treatment options and the use of residential housing facilities, operated by the Commonwealth or by private providers contracted with the Commonwealth on property owned by the Commonwealth, and shall report the results of the examination to the Governor and the General Assembly by December 1, 2012. The bill also directs the Crime Commission to review the offenses that qualify as sexually violent offenses, the Department's process for evaluation of individuals to determine whether they meet the criteria for treatment as sexually violent predators, and the Commonwealth's program for treatment of sexually violent predators to determine whether changes may be made to reduce the cost of treatment and care of sexually violent predators while protecting the safety and welfare of citizens of the Commonwealth.
