Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6600.05 — Sexually Violent Predators is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
(a) Coalinga State Hospital shall be used whenever a person is committed to a secure facility for mental health treatment pursuant to this article and is placed in a state hospital under the direction of the State Department of State Hospitals unless there are unique circumstances that would preclude the placement of a person at that facility. If a state hospital is not used, the facility to be used shall be located on a site or sites determined by the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the Director of State Hospitals. In no case shall a person committed to a secure facility for mental health treatment pursuant to this article be placed at Metropolitan State Hospital or Napa State Hospital.
(b) The State Department of State Hospitals shall be responsible for operation of the facility, including the provision of treatment.
