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 process for informing offenders about the treatment, including potential side effects, and mandates that treatment begins at least one month prior to their release from custody. Additionally, it stipulates that the corrections department will administer the treatment while the offender is incarcerated, and if released, the parole officer will guide them on where to receive the treatment.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that refusal to undergo chemical castration treatment will be considered a violation of parole, leading to immediate remand to the corrections department for the remainder of the sentence. It 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 legislation aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that sex offenders receive necessary treatment as a condition of their parole.
