Establishes rehabilitation programs within secure treatment facilities for persistent criminal offenders convicted of ten or more violent crimes.

New York Assembly Bill A00781, known as the "REPEAT Act," establishes rehabilitation programs within secure treatment facilities for persistent criminal offenders convicted of ten or more violent crimes. The bill requires a court hearing to demonstrate the offender's criminal pattern and risk to public safety or themselves. Rehabilitation programs must include mental health treatment, substance abuse counseling, and life skills counseling. Release from these programs is contingent on successful completion and a court finding that the offender no longer poses a threat.
