PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 709C.6, subsection 1, Code 1995, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    1.  The court or jury shall determine whether, beyond a
  1  4 reasonable doubt, the person is a sexually violent predator.
  1  5 If the state alleges that the prior sexually violent offense
  1  6 that forms the basis for the petition for commitment was an
  1  7 act that was sexually motivated, the state shall prove beyond
  1  8 a reasonable doubt that the alleged sexually violent act was
  1  9 sexually motivated.  If the court or jury determines that the
  1 10 person is a sexually violent predator, the person shall be
  1 11 committed to the custody of the department of human services
  1 12 corrections in a secure facility for control, care, and
  1 13 treatment until such time as the person's mental abnormality
  1 14 or personality disorder has so changed that the person is safe
  1 15 to be at large.  This control, care, and treatment shall be
  1 16 provided at a facility operated by the department of human
  1 17 services corrections in coordination with the department of
  1 18 human services; however, adults and juveniles shall not be
  1 19 sent to the same facility.  If the court or jury does not find
  1 20 beyond a reasonable doubt that the person is a sexually
  1 21 violent predator, the court shall order the person to be
  1 22 released in accordance with the terms of the person's
  1 23 sentence.  
  1 24                           EXPLANATION
  1 25    This bill provides that a sexually violent predator is to
  1 26 be held at a secure department of corrections' facility,
  1 27 instead of a secure department of human services' facility.
  1 28 Treatment and care of the sexually violent predator will be
  1 29 coordinated with the department of human services.
