Digest
Allows a court to order that a sex offender, whose victim was under 14 years of age, may only be eligible for parole, probation, or community corrections if the sex offender consents to chemical castration treatment. Makes it a Level 4 felony if a person who consents to chemical castration treatment knowingly or intentionally stops receiving the chemical castration treatment. Requires the department of correction to administer, or contract with a provider to administer, chemical castration treatments.
