This bill establishes a new legal provision regarding surgical castration for individuals convicted of serious sex offenses involving victims under the age of twelve. It allows courts to mandate surgical castration as part of the conditions of release for such offenders, in addition to any other penalties. The bill specifies that if a defendant is placed on probation and is not confined at sentencing, a plan for surgical castration must be included in the presentence investigation. If the defendant is in confinement, the procedure must occur no later than one week before their release. The court's order for surgical castration is contingent upon a medical expert's assessment of the defendant's suitability for the procedure.

The bill also defines serious sex offenses in accordance with existing law, including various degrees of sexual abuse and related offenses against minors. It emphasizes that the court must determine the medical appropriateness of the surgical procedure within sixty days of sentencing. The bill is deemed of immediate importance and takes effect upon enactment.
