Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committees on Energy and Commerce, and Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Bill 119 HR 779, also known as the "Sexually Dangerous Persons Act," aims to enhance protections against individuals who are deemed sexually dangerous. The bill includes provisions that would allow for the civil commitment of individuals who have been convicted of a sexually violent offense and are deemed likely to reoffend.

Under the proposed legislation, individuals who are found to be sexually dangerous would be subject to involuntary commitment in a secure facility for treatment and monitoring. The bill also includes measures to ensure that individuals who are released from commitment are closely monitored and supervised to prevent future offenses.

In addition to the civil commitment provisions, the bill also includes measures to improve the coordination and communication between law enforcement agencies and mental health professionals in identifying and managing sexually dangerous individuals. This includes the establishment of a national registry of sexually dangerous persons to track and monitor individuals who pose a risk to public safety. Overall, Bill 119 HR 779 seeks to strengthen protections against sexually dangerous individuals and improve the safety of communities across the United States.
