CA SB760

Expands the definition of when an evaluator is "no longer available to testify" for sexually violent predator civil commitment cases to include evaluators who have resigned or retired and have not entered into a new contract to continue in the case.

Allows the petitioning attorney to request replacement evaluations from the State Department of State Hospitals when an original evaluator is no longer available under the expanded definition.

Provides an exception to the new definition: evaluators who resigned or retired remain available if their most recent evaluation opined that the person does not meet commitment criteria.

Requires the State Department of State Hospitals to conduct replacement evaluations following the same protocols as original evaluations, including record review, clinician consultation, and interviews.

Declares the act an urgency statute effective immediately.
