Civil commitment of sexually violent predators.

Such persons will be committed for an indeterminate period to facilities operated by the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services for treatment and confinement consistent with their needs. The bill has an effective date of January 1, 2001. This bill is identical to HB 1775.
