## Summary

This bill would create a federal framework to **prevent concentrated placement of conditionally released sexually violent predators**. It would require covered States to adopt geographic placement rules, direct the Department of Justice to study placement patterns, and authorize grants to help States implement best practices. - Communities and neighborhoods: Would limit clustering by barring placements within a 10-mile radius of another covered individual and by capping placements in a neighborhood at 25 percent of a large county's total. It aims to reduce repeated burdens on rural and low-capacity areas that have received many placements. - States: Would require each covered State to set and enforce a placement framework and follow sequential-placement rules so less-burdened county subdivisions receive new placements before more-burdened ones. States must certify adoption of the best practices to be eligible for grant funding. - DOJ study and grants: Directs the Attorney General to begin a study within 60 days and publish best practices within one year and creates a grant program to help States implement those practices with appropriations described as "such sums as may be necessary".
