 Community Protection Program
Amendment
The Community Protection Program (CCP) was created legislatively in
1996 to protect the community from persons with developmental
disabilities who demonstrated violent or sexually violent behaviors.
This new legislation, "Protecting Communities from Individuals with
Behaviors that Pose a Threat of Violence or Sexual Violence"
codifies how a person is placed in the program, and how a person can
petition to be released. The law also codifies the civil rights of
these individuals. It also provides for penalties that can be levied
against contractors providing services to the CCP if the contractor
violates the civil rights of the individuals in care
