Senate Bill 2873 strengthens the state's Sexually Violent Persons (SVP) Act to ensure that the most dangerous sexual predators – those whom authorities believe will attack again – are confined indefinitely. Illinois is one of 16 states that has an SVP program, which can result in the civil commitment of an offender if he is deemed sexually violent upon his parole from the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC).
