The bill amends existing laws regarding the supervision of sexually violent predators after their release or discharge. It establishes that if a court determines that a conditional release to a less restrictive alternative is appropriate, it must impose conditions to ensure community safety, including electronic monitoring and restrictions on proximity to schools and childcare facilities. The bill mandates that the supervising community corrections officer's primary work location must be within 50 miles of the predator's residential placement. Additionally, the court is required to review the case of each person released to a less restrictive alternative at least annually to assess compliance and community safety.

Furthermore, the bill expands the categories of individuals that the Department of Corrections must supervise to include sexually violent predators. It specifies that the department must conduct risk assessments for individuals sentenced to community custody and outlines the conditions under which supervision is required. The bill also emphasizes the importance of fair share principles in the placement of individuals to prevent disproportionate grouping in any one community. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance public safety while facilitating the reintegration of sexually violent predators into the community.
