Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1054 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to require a judge to direct a supervision officer to evaluate the appropriateness of, and a course of conduct necessary for, treatment, specialized supervision, or rehabilitation of a defendant who is a sex offender and to report the results of the evaluation to the judge. The evaluation is required to be made after conviction and before the entry of a final judgment or, if requested by the defendant, after arrest and before conviction. The bill authorizes a judge to require a sex offender who is granted community supervision to submit to certain treatment, specialized supervision, or rehabilitation. The bill prohibits a sex offender, if the victim of the offense was a child, from going within 1,000 feet, rather than a distance specified by a judge, of certain premises where children commonly gather except under special circumstances.
