Bill	Sexually violent predators.	Existing law provides for the civil commitment of a person who is determined to be a sexually violent predator. Existing law establishes a procedure by which a person committed as a sexually violent predator may petition for conditional release. Existing law requires the counsel for the committed individual, the sheriff or the chief of police of the locality for placement, and the county counsel and the district attorney of the county of domicile, or the designees of each of those entities, to provide assistance and consultation in the State Department of State Hospitals' process of locating and securing housing within the county and requires those individuals to provide appropriate contact information for their respective office to the department. Existing law also requires the department to convene a committee of those individuals.
