The bill followed the murder of Stephanie Schmidt at Pittsburg State University, with parents Peggy and Gene Schmidt aiding in lobbying.

The act requires a separate building at Larned State Hospital by June 1, 1995, and places offenders under the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services. A second bill creates a criminal justice coordinating council to study issues.
