The bill amends existing law to include chemical castration treatment as a mandatory condition of parole for sex offenders. Specifically, it requires that the district court mandate sex offenders to undergo this treatment, which involves the use of hormonal drugs to reduce the likelihood of sexual violence recidivism. The bill outlines that offenders must begin treatment at least one month prior to their release and that the corrections department will administer the treatment while the offender is incarcerated. Additionally, it stipulates that offenders are responsible for the costs associated with the treatment, although they cannot be denied parole solely based on their inability to pay.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that refusal to undergo chemical castration treatment will be considered a violation of parole, leading to the offender being returned to custody for the remainder of their sentence. The legislation also includes provisions for the district court to inform offenders about the treatment and its potential side effects, as well as requirements for the sharing of medical records related to the treatment with the parole board. Overall, the bill aims to enhance public safety by imposing stricter conditions on sex offenders during their parole period.
