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 the responsibilities of the corrections department in administering the treatment and mandates that offenders be informed of the treatment's effects and potential side effects prior to their release. Additionally, it stipulates that offenders must begin treatment at least one month before their release and continue until deemed unnecessary by the parole board.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that refusal to undergo chemical castration treatment will be considered a violation of parole, resulting in the offender being returned to custody for the remainder of their sentence. The legislation also clarifies that while offenders are responsible for the costs associated with the treatment, they cannot be denied parole solely based on their inability to pay. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that sex offenders receive necessary treatment as a condition of their parole.
