S.0233

Sexually Violent Predator Act

Chamber Passed·3/27/25

Redefines "likely to engage in acts of sexual violence" in the Sexually Violent Predator Act.

The bill amends the Sexually Violent Predator Act by redefining the term "likely to engage in acts of sexual violence." It specifies that a person is considered likely to engage in such acts if they are predisposed to commit acts of sexual violence and are more likely than not to do so to a degree that poses a threat to the health and safety of others. This change aims to clarify the criteria for identifying individuals who may require monitoring or intervention under the act.
