Restoring Law and Order on America’s Streets Act
Rep. Mace Introduces Bill to Allow Involuntary Commitment for Crimes Like Urban Camping and Vandalism
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process after being sent to the House Committee on the Judiciary for review. It is actively moving forward as it awaits further study by committee members. There are no upcoming votes or hearings scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
While this bill may pass the House, it faces a very difficult path in the Senate where many members view involuntary commitment for non-violent crimes as a violation of civil rights.

Personal Impact
Life & Work
People with criminal records involving violence, burglary, robbery, larceny, public drug offenses, or vandalism could face civil commitment on top of or instead of traditional criminal penalties. If they are also found to have a serious mental illness, they may be held indefinitely in a federal facility, creating a parallel track to incarceration with fewer procedural protections than typical criminal proceedings.
