This bill, titled the Stop Sexually Violent Predators Act, aims to strengthen protections against sexually dangerous individuals. It amends the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 by requiring states to annually submit a list of individuals convicted of sexually dangerous offenses to the Attorney General. The Attorney General is then mandated to review these lists to determine if federal prosecution of these individuals is appropriate. Furthermore, the legislation introduces significant limitations on federal healthcare funding for these specified individuals. It prohibits Medicaid payments to states for medical assistance provided to persons convicted of sexually violent offenses and deemed sexually dangerous, and also deems these individuals ineligible for Medicare Part A and Part B benefits . An important exception is made for individuals receiving involuntary treatment as inpatients in hospitals or skilled nursing facilities. Finally, the bill expands Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) reporting requirements to include information about any relevant court cases.
