The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code and the Occupations Code to create a new mandatory regulatory structure for sex offender treatment providers. The bill contains provisions for hearings, penalties, and license suspensions for sex offender treatment providers. The Council on Sex Offender Treatment, overseen by the Department of State Health Services (DSHS), is increased to seven members from its current six. Several sections of the Occupations Code relating to the current regulatory scheme and council membership consisting of six people are repealed.
The bill also would establish the Dynamic Risk Assessment Pilot Program for adult sex offenders who are treated in counties with populations of one million or more, with costs incurred to be paid by the probationer.
