SACRAMENTO – On the Senate floor today, Senator Brian Dahle (R-Bieber) presented an amendment to stop the dangerous practice of releasing sexually violent predators (SVPs) into communities on transient status. This was his second attempt proposing the solution and Senate Democrats’ second time blocking it.
“California Democrats continue to allow SVPs to be dumped in communities on transient status regardless of the known dangers they pose. Three-quarters of transient releases fail to transition successfully,” Dahle stated. “These are not your average criminals; they’ve committed serious sexual crimes and pose significant risk of reoffending. Minimizing that risk is paramount.”
