  1  5    "1.  If a person is convicted of a serious sex
  1  6 offense, the court shall, prior to the time of
  1  7 sentencing, order that the person undergo an
  1  8 assessment to determine whether the person's emotional
  1  9 or volitional capacity predisposes the person to
  1 10 commit criminal sexual acts, whether the person is at
  1 11 risk of committing additional criminal sexual acts
  1 12 upon release, and whether any treatment may be
  1 13 available which will reduce or eliminate the
  1 14 likelihood that the person will again engage in
  1 15 criminal sexual acts.  The assessment shall be
  1 16 conducted by a person who possesses the professional
  1 17 qualifications specified in rules adopted by the
  1 18 department of corrections in consultation with the
  1 19 department of human services and the division of
  1 20 criminal and juvenile justice planning of the
  1 21 department of human rights.  The assessment shall be
  1 22 completed and provided to the court at least three
  1 23 days prior to the time of sentencing.  The assessment
  1 24 shall be subject to the same confidentiality
  1 25 requirements and shall be distributed in the same
  1 26 manner as a presentence investigation under section
  1 27 901.4.
  1 28    2.  At the time of sentencing, the court may order
  1 29 that the person undergo any treatment recommended in
  1 30 the assessment, and may require that the person
  1 31 undergo medroxyprogesterone acetate treatment or some
  1 32 equally or more effective treatment.  If
  1 33 medroxyprogesterone acetate treatment or some equally
  1 34 or more effective treatment is ordered, the court's
  1 35 order shall specify the time within which treatment
  1 36 shall be initiated and the length of time and
  1 37 conditions under which treatment shall be conducted.
  1 38    3.  The court shall not order medroxyprogesterone
  1 39 acetate treatment or some equally or more effective
  1 40 treatment if the person voluntarily undergoes a
  1 41 permanent surgical alternative approved by the court.
  1 42 If the person is required to undergo
  1 43 medroxyprogesterone acetate treatment or some equally
  1 44 or more effective treatment, the person shall be
  1 45 informed by qualified personnel regarding the nature
  1 46 and purposes of the treatment, together with the known
  1 47 risks and any long-term complications or damage which
  1 48 may be associated with the treatment, and the
  1 49 probability of each such risk if reasonably
  1 50 determinable."
