In re Commitment of Snapp

The Sexually Dangerous Persons Act was amended in 2013 to include the required element of a substantial probability to reoffend within the statutory defnition of a sexually dangerous person. This amendment thus eliminated the requirement that the circuit court must make an explicit finding that the respondent is substantially probable to commit sex offenses in the future if not confined. The Act, as amended, incorporates the finding of a substantial probability to reoffend into the definition of a sexually dangerous person. (A. BURKE, GARMAN, THEIS, NEVILLE, M. BURKE, and OVERSTREET, concurring.)
