Stop Predator Dumping Act
The source supplies the latest action, but no lifecycle stage.
Latest action (27 Aug 2026): Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
What this bill does
The Stop Predator Dumping Act would require states that civilly commit and then conditionally release "sexually violent predators" (or those under a comparable legal designation) to follow a national placement framework when housing these individuals in the community. Specifically, states could not place two such individuals within 10 miles of each other at the same time, must place new individuals in county subdivisions with fewer existing placements before others in the same county, and in counties with populations over 1 million, could not let any single subdivision or county governing district hold more than 25 percent of that county's total placements.
The bill primarily affects state agencies that manage civil commitment and conditional release programs, as well as the covered individuals subject to placement rules. It also directs the Department of Justice to study how these individuals are geographically distributed, including whether rural areas or specific regions bear disproportionate placement burdens, and to develop and share best practices with states within a year. A grant program would let the Attorney General provide funding to states adopting these best practices, with appropriations left unspecified ("such sums as necessary").
The bill was introduced on August 27, 2026, by Rep. George Whitesides and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. It has not yet received a committee vote, floor vote, or further congressional action, and would need to pass both chambers and be signed into law before taking effect.
