Summary
This bill amends federal law to expand civil commitment authority to include persons deemed a danger to public safety, beyond the current scope limited to sexually dangerous persons. It defines "danger to public safety" to include individuals with serious mental illness who have engaged in crimes of violence, property crimes, drug distribution in public places, urban camping, or vandalism, and requires evaluation of homeless individuals entering federal custody. The bill establishes procedures for the Attorney General and Bureau of Prisons to certify and civilly commit such persons.
